The Hermiston School District will hold two community forums in the coming weeks to discuss district facilities and student growth challenges.

The meetings are scheduled for Oct. 22, at Rocky Heights Elementary School, and Nov. 10, at Desert View Elementary School. The forums will begin at 5 p.m., and translation services will be available. All who are interested in learning more about these challenges are encouraged to attend.

In light of this year’s record enrollment growth and continued strain on school facilities, district officials will share initial plans to address the circumstances. Attendees will learn about a potential capital construction bond, previous bond outcomes, work of the Facility Master Planning Committee, current issues in the district, and potential next steps. An opportunity for feedback will also be provided.
