A 60-day process to explore the possible closure of Carson Middle School begins. Throughout the month of March the district will meet with the potentially affected community on the option so that it can be refined and evaluated.
In April, the Governing Board is expected to hold a public meeting on the potential closure.
In May, the Board is expected to make a final decision on whether Carson will be closed. Affected residents will be notified.
