Six city councils are holding votes on Tuesday to decide whether the option to split from Alpine School District will go on voters' ballots this November.
UTAH COUNTY — Six city councils are holding votes on Tuesday to decide whether the option to split from Alpine School District will go on voters' ballots this November. So far, three of them have voted unanimously in favor of placing it on the ballot. The proposal is for Lehi, American Fork, Cedar Hills, Alpine, Highland, and Draper to create their own new district. These six cities formed an interlocal agreement in April to study a possible split from their current district.
If a majority of the councils vote in favor, then the option to create the Central School District will go on voters' ballots in all six cities. 'I think the number one thing is that we feel that this is something that our residents need to decide, and no matter where we kind of feel on it, it's something that everybody is passionate about,' Lehi City Councilwoman Heather Newall said.
