Facilities Optimization Committee
As part of the process, a School Facilities Optimization Committee made up of parents, teachers, classified staff, and administrators reviewed District data and considered how to best use District schools and resources to ensure long-term sustainability and student success.
Topics included:
-
Student enrollment trends
-
School capacity and facility condition
-
Student demographics and geographic distribution
-
Academic programs across schools
-
The impact on student programs when a school has very low enrollment
-
Budget and operational considerations
The Board heard the Committee's recommendations in November 2025 and made its final decision in December 2025.

Board Meeting | December 11, 2025
On December 11, 2025, the Board of Education voted to approve a formal resolution that both extends the District’s Facilities Optimization and community engagement process and authorizes the future relocation of Hosler Middle School students and programs to the Bullis Campus.
While consolidating Lugo, Rosa Parks and Wilson elementary schools was among the options reviewed during this process, the Board emphasized that all schools will remain open and that any decision regarding school closures has been postponed pending an additional year of analysis and community engagement.
