The District has created an informational page for Columbia parents and families about the school's possible closure and details on what to expect until the Board makes a final decision on May 14. Info is available in English and Spanish and can be found on the Columbia website by clicking the purple button or by using this direct link https://www.wenatcheeschools.org/schoolclosure

Please note the district is working to help prepare families for a possible transition in their child's school. This does not mean a final decision has been made by the school board.

The public hearings for the possible closure are scheduled for March 21 and April 18 at 6:00 PM in the Wenatchee High School commons.
