School consolidation was considered by the St. Joseph School District Wednesday evening.

The board of education reviewed QLEO (CLEE-Oh) Analysis results. The analysis concerns the consolidation of several St. Joseph schools under different scenarios. QLEO was prepared by BLDD Architects.

Sam Johnson, Principal of BLDD Architects said the analysis will help SJSD make the best decision with regard to saving money.

“QLEO analysis will essentially tell them which investment, moving forward, provides the best return on their dollars,” Johnson said.

Johnson said his team looked at some specific proposals the district are considering.

“They want us to do an analysis to understand if they were making a good decision in the long run,” Johnson said.

St. Joseph School Superintendent Dr. Robert Newhart said the consolidation plans are not set in stone.

“There’s been nothing decided. What the community desires helps lay out the vision we are looking for,” Newhart said.

Newhart said the plans will take some time to be put in action.

“It’s going to take several years to really get this in place. This is a road map laying out a vision for the school district and the community,” he said
