Williston Basin School District Boundary Community Discussion will be held on April 26th and April 27th starting at 5:30 PM at Hagan Elementary School. What Will this discussion look like? WBSD#7 is utilizing RSP & Associates consulting firm to guide us through a boundary discussion and decision-making process. We will host two community forums in April where RSP will gather input and feedback from all stakeholders in the community on this topic. RSP will then provide this information for the District and the Board to use to make the best decisions they can for our students and community.

Utilize elementary facility capacity efficiently to relieve over-capacity challenges at Hagan Elementary. Tentative Timeline March 2023: RSP completes 2022/23 Enrollment Analysis.
