As discussion and review continue in Junction City about the possible need for a new high school, one member of the Board of Education, Brian Field, feels it’s important to remember this is a fluid process. “We’ve had our community survey, glad to see that. We’ve got our steering committee that is meeting right now. I think we just need to take this all in and digest this, but really in the end what they come to us and recommend in January, coupled with the survey is what’s really going to be what we need to take in as a school board.”

Field spoke following a Board of Education update and review on the progress and information coming to them from the JCHS Steering Committee level. That committee is scheduled to develop a recommendation on a possible new school for the Board of Education by January.

The two options receiving the most attention with the steering committee are building a new high school at the current JCHS location, or a new school at a site on the west side of the city.
