Proposal Considers Moving Rumsey Station Elementary to La Vista Junior High and High School
The challenges facing growing communities and school districts are indeed managing and accommodating growth. For the Papillion-La Vista Schools, those challenges include anticipating and trying to stay ahead of overcrowded situations in our buildings; while being good stewards of patron tax dollars. Maintaining balanced student enrollment at the junior highs and high schools is a concern the Papillion-la Vista School District is facing. As the majority of our District growth is occurring in the southern portion of the District, the need to balance attendance areas at the junior high and high schools is recognized. The Papillion-La Vista School Board is considering a change in the assigned elementary buildings that feed into the secondary schools.

The proposed change being considered is moving the Rumsey Station attendance area, north of the Papio Creek, to feed into La Vista Junior High and Papillion-La Vista High School.

The Papillion-La Vista School District is curious to know what patrons of the school district think about the proposed change. Do you have any comments or questions you would like shared?
