WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
The cities of Alpine, American Fork, Cedar Hills, Draper (the Utah County portion), Highland and Lehi conducted a study on creating a new school district. The study evaluated the fiscal impacts, including start-up costs, staffing, capital facilities, enrollment growth, and revenue projections from federal, state, and local sources. The study concluded that forming a new school district could reduce future property tax burdens compared to remaining in the Alpine School District.
The 2024 election results showed that 58% of voters were FOR the creation of a new school district, board, budget, and the division of resources. The graphic below showcases the robust public process that lies ahead to help prepare for the new school district.
This outcome is based on preliminary election results. Final results will be certified by the Utah County Commission after the final canvassing has been conducted on Tuesday, November 19. Visit vote.utahcounty.gov/home for more information.
