The Stevenson-Carson School District says it will reopen Wind River Middle School in Carson for students in grades 6-8.  The building had been closed since 2012 for operational savings, but a review by district administration found the savings expected from the closure weren’t realized.  The district board voted to reopen Wind River to accommodate social distancing for COVID-19, provide a more age-appropriate atmosphere by separating middle school students from much older high school students, and to plan for more robust learning opportunities if taxpayers vote to replace the Educational Programs & Operations Levy expiring at the end of 2020.  The additional facility may permit district students to make the transition from remote learning to returning to school earlier.
