Wrightstown Elementary Reconfiguration Plan to Be Considered Thursday

The Council Rock School Board will consider a grade reconfiguration plan for Wrightstown Elementary School during a meeting Thursday.

The meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Chancellor Center. Click here to view the full agenda.

Under the plan, starting next year, Wrightstown Elementary will become a K-4 school, with 5th and 6th grade students attending Newtown Elementary School.

The plan is a result of the district’s pledge to remove all modular units from the schools by September. Wrightstown has five modular units.

Several parents from Wrighstown Elementary have expressed opposition to the plan, saying reconfiguration of just one district school would compromise the overall integrity of a K-6 educational experience.

The reconfiguration plan follows months of debate over consideration of closing the elementary school altogether as part of the district’s capital planning process.
