# Board Ad Hoc Boundary Analysis Community Committee - 10/15/26

The Iowa City School Board’s Ad Hoc Boundary Analysis Community Committee met on October 15, 2026, to begin an advisory review of school facilities and attendance boundaries amid the district’s financial recovery. District representatives said the committee’s work is limited to the general fund, including $13.8 million in reductions, and noted that the district is planning for approximately $32.5 million in budget reductions over four years. RSP and Associates is facilitating the committee’s analysis through February. The committee reviewed enrollment projections, building capacity and utilization, demographic and housing trends, boundary criteria, and potential facility retirements; estimated savings discussed were roughly $1 million to $2 million per building, depending on building size. No specific savings target or closure recommendation was adopted at this meeting.

The committee is advisory, with final decision-making authority retained by the school board. Members provided initial input on school community strengths, facility data needs, and possible changes to grade configurations; the discussion also identified questions for follow-up, including how capacity is calculated and the savings associated with past building closures. No votes, contract awards, or purchasing decisions were reported. The district distinguished this general-fund facilities review from other funds that may support capital projects, repairs, roof replacements, technology, and athletic improvements; future meetings and public input are planned.
