Middle School Consolidation To Be Discussed at 2nd Meeting

Dubuque Community Schools officials will host a second informational meeting next month to update community members on the district’s middle school consolidation study and allow attendees to share feedback. The public meeting will be held from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m on November 1st at the Forum on Chaney Road. In April, school board members voted to approve a goal of consolidating the district’s middle schools from three to two by no later than fall 2026, with a focus on creating feeder schools to the district’s two high schools. A report says board members in June approved working with Waterloo, Iowa, firm Invision Architecture to lead the study and planning process for the consolidation.
