American Fork • Board members of the Alpine School District voted unanimously late Tuesday on a controversial consolidation plan that would combine two Orem elementary schools – a decision that has led opponents to consider splitting away from the district.
The decision to merge Hillcrest and Scera Park Elementary schools brought relief to some, while others felt their concerns over the move were ignored, despite the district delaying its vote twice to allow for more public comment.
“I feel like the can was just kicked further down the street,” said Hillcrest parent Rebecca Clarke before the meeting.
