City school district hosts meeting on option of reworking grade levels

The Charlottesville schools will host a meeting today to narrow the possible options for reconfiguring its grades.

The division has been discussing whether its grades should be reconfigured after an efficiency review recommended closing an elementary school so the division could be more efficient in its use of facilities.
The four options being considered are leaving the division as is; closing an elementary; having six elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school; or having six elementary schools, one middle school and one high school.

Charlottesville currently has six elementary schools, one upper elementary school, one middle school and one high school.
The meeting, which will narrow the four options to two, will take place at 6 p.m. at Charlottesville High School.
