The City Council seeks your opinion concerning the creation of a new school district. While two public hearings were held on June 13 and 18, residents may still make their comments to the Council by emailing them to council@emcity.org or by filling out a public comment form.
Ensuring our schoolchildren receive the best education possible is a top priority. That’s why the Alpine School District’s western cities, comprising Eagle Mountain, Saratoga Springs, and Fairfield, with support from Cedar Fort, have approved an interlocal agreement to initiate the process of creating a new school district.
The three cities retained LRB Public Finance Advisors, a Utah municipal financial advisory firm, to study forming a district comprised of Eagle Mountain, Saratoga Springs, Cedar Fort, and Fairfield. A 45-day period (ending July 31) to receive public comment on the proposal to create a new school district has begun. Two public hearings on this topic were held on June 13 and 18.
“We must be mindful of the financial implications and work toward solutions that promote fiscal sustainability while meeting the needs of our growing population.” -Mayor Tom Westmoreland (Daily Herald)
Big changes require meaningful consideration of the future. That’s why Alpine School District engaged MGT Consulting to study the feasibility of splitting the existing school district into two, or more, entities. The western cities, interested in greater local oversight and anticipating a better financial future, engaged LRB Public Finance Advisors to conduct a forward-looking feasibility study.
Help Eagle Mountain shape the future of our children’s education. Community leaders are committed to providing first-rate educational experience in Eagle Mountain while meeting the needs and expectations of our community.
The benefits and costs of local oversight, additional facilities, and high-quality outcomes should be considered in future decisions. Your feedback empowers the Eagle Mountain City Council to provide the best for our kids.
Following the required public comment period ending July 31, the City Councils of Eagle Mountain, Saratoga Springs, and Fairfield have 14 days to vote to put the creation of a new school district to voters. The Eagle Mountain City Council has a meeting scheduled for Aug. 6 to consider a decision. All three participating City Councils must approve for the proposal to be put on the ballot for the voters to consider on Nov. 5, 2024.
If voters approve the new school district creation in November 2024, an election to elect school board members for the new district will follow next year. A new school district will not replace Alpine School District until July 1, 2027. This transitional period exists to work out the details of splitting assets and liabilities, staffing, shared services, resource allocations, and other pertinent matters.
