Cheney Public Schools - Boundary Revision Process and Final Elementary Boundaries for the 2027/28 School Year
CHENEY, Wash. – The Cheney Public Schools Boundary Review Community Partners Team (BRCPT) reached a consensus on a recommended elementary boundary scenario during its meeting on March 16.
These updated boundaries were developed in preparation for the district’s new elementary school in Airway Heights, scheduled to open in the fall of 2027, with the goal of providing families with more than a year to prepare for the shift.
Boundary revisions can be a challenging shift for families and students–especially those impacted directly by the change. A community-informed boundary revision process aims to address these challenges as best as possible.
The BRCPT–made up of representatives from each of our district’s three distinct communities, district staff, and administrators–held its fourth and final meeting on March 16. Across four meetings, the team dedicated hours to reviewing data, considering community perspectives, and mapping potential boundary scenarios.
With guidance from Teater Crocker, Inc. consultants, this work focused on balancing enrollment, supporting long-term stability, and ensuring fair access to programs and resources for all students. The team also collaborated with district specialists, including transportation, nutrition services, and student support services, to develop a comprehensive and thoughtful recommendation.
Following the Boundary Community Feedback Nights, a final draft was presented to the School Board for review on April 29. This draft was officially adopted by the School Board on May 13.
