At Cartwright School District No. 83, we are committed to ensuring every student has access to the best possible learning environment. As our community grows and shifts, we occasionally need to review our school attendance boundaries to maintain balanced enrollment and high-quality education for all students.
We value the input of our families and community members in this process. Therefore, the Governing Board will be holding a public hearing to discuss potential changes to school attendance areas.
