The district’s newest school debuted in Septem— ber.

When students return to the classrooms, they will share the CHOICE building, while the district continues to search for a second school site. Stacey Anderson, the principal of both schools, told the school board at its Dec. 8 meeting that Cedar High students met via Zoom Dec. 1 to work on the proposed constitution. They used the CHOICE High School constitution as an inspira- tion, she said, That day, the students voted 30—3 to pass the proposed constitution, Anderson said. After Board President Sandy Tarzwell pointed out some inconsistencies and misspellings, An- derson said she would revise the document and present it again to the board at its regular meet- ing Tuesday night. On Tuesday, the board unani- mously approved the ASB constitution. “The students will be excited that their consti- tution passed and they can elect officers,” Ander- son said.
