Kutztown School Board discussed keeping 5th grade in the elementary schools, rather than moving the grade level to the middle school.

The administration’s recommendation to the School Board is to not relocate the 5th grade to the middle school, noting feedback from Kutztown parents indicating a strong preference for leaving 5th grade students at the elementary schools. Administration also believes that although space is limited, there is a manageable situation at Greenwich Elementary to maintain a K-5 structure.

Board member Amy Faust toured Greenwich Elementary and liked the arrangement for K-5 in that building.
