SCHOOL DISTRICT ASKS CITY FOR EARLIER CONSIDERATION ON BRYANT SCHOOL SITE

THE SIOUX CITY COUNCIL HAS BEEN ASKED TO REVISIT THE POSSIBILITY OF ALLOWING PART OF LEIF ERICSSON PARK TO BE USED AS A SITE FOR A NEW NORTHSIDE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

THURSDAY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT DR. PAUL GAUSMAN ASKED CITY MANAGER PAUL ECKERT TO MOVE UP THE DISCUSSION FROM JUNE 4TH TO THE MARCH 5TH COUNCIL MEETING.  

THE DISTRICT HAD ORIGINALLY ASKED FOR THE JUNE DATE, BUT GAUSMAN SAYS HE REQUESTED THE EARLIER TIME BECAUSE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS MAKING PROGRESS AT NARROWING THE LIST OF POSSIBLE SITES TO REPLACE BRYANT ELEMENTARY: 

GAUSMAN SAYS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS NARROWED THE LIST OF POSSIBLE SITES FOR A NEW SCHOOL FROM 11 TO 6....INCLUDING INDIAN HILLS, THE FORMER HOOVER MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HUBBARD PARK AREA:

ANOTHER POSSIBILITY IS THE CURRENT BRYANT ELEMENTARY AREA:

     GAUSMAN SAYS HE RESPECTS THAT NO MATTER WHAT SITE IS CHOSEN FOR THE NEW SCHOOL, NOT EVERYONE WILL BE HAPPY WITH THE DECISION.
