WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The cities of Alpine, American Fork, Cedar Hills, Draper (the Utah County portion), Highland, and Lehi conducted a study on creating a new school district. The study evaluated the fiscal impacts, including start-up costs, staffing, capital facilities, enrollment growth, and revenue projections from federal, state, and local sources. The study concluded that forming a new school district could reduce future property tax burdens compared to remaining in the Alpine School District.

The 2024 election results show that the majority of voters were FOR the creation of a new school district, board, budget, and the division of resources. The graphic below showcases the robust public process that lies ahead to help prepare for the new school district.
