The required public hearing on the future setup of the Conneaut School District is set for Monday, Jan. 30, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Linesville High School gymatorium.

Three options will be reviewed after which the school directors will take questions and comment on proposed changes in the setup of district schools with a look to budget concerns, curriculum offerings, transportation matters and facilities use.

The hearing is not a debate with the school directors but a question/comment period for the public to hear the three options being looked at and to allow the school directors a chance to gather questions from the public and respond at a later time.

Following the hearing the school directors must wait 90 days, as required by state law, before voting on options.

That will bring the decision time to late April.

The official legal notice regarding the hearing reads:

The required public hearing on the future setup and organization of the schools in the Conneaut Lake, Conneaut Valley, and Linesville areas that make up the Conneaut School District has been set for Mon., Jan. 30, beginning at 6:30 p.m., at the Linesville High School gymatorium.

Three proposals will be reviewed, questions and comments taken and then the school directors will wait 90 days, as required by state law, before voting on a final option.

Back in December, Conneaut Schools Superintendent Jarrin Sperry, after reviewing options put forth and studied by the Better Utilization of School Space committees [BUSS], recommended Option 6B which is the Option that sends Linesville's Alice Schafer grades K - 4 students to Conneaut Lake and Conneaut Valley Elementary Schools, puts grades 5 - 8 at the Conneaut Valley and Conneaut Lake High Schools and creates a single high school for grades 9 - 12 at the Linesville School campus with any overflow of students at the Linesville High School building using the Schafer building as needed on an overflow basis.

That is seen as may be necessary for a couple of years for a few classes until declining enrollment allows all 9 -12 students to stay in the LHS building.
