    Dear UCS Community,

     

    Earlier this month, I shared an update on our future vision for elementary school buildings and our work to address long-standing issues related to school attendance areas.

     

    The two initiatives are closely connected.  By updating select elementary schools and consolidating school attendance areas, students and staff will have greater access to updated facilities that encourage growth and achievement.

     

    The next few weeks we will be focusing on addressing attendance boundaries that feed into Henry Ford II High School. This review will include the future merging of school communities, changes to the boundaries to better support neighborhood schools and future plans to reconstruct elementary schools. We are working closely with our Enrollment Distribution Advisory Committee (EDAC) – a long-standing citizen group of representatives from each school that annually studies UCS attendance areas.

     

    We have placed information on our website that details the areas under review, the issues that we are working to address and a survey instrument where you can share your thoughts on our future direction. The information is available at: http://www.uticak12.org/buildingforthefuture.

     

    I look forward to working with you as we continue to reimagine how our facilities will allow students to pursue excellence, live their passion and be in school communities where they are welcomed and belong.

     

    Sincerely,

     

    Robert S. Monroe 
    Superintendent of Schools
