The Unionville-Chadds Ford School District (UCFSD) is inviting community members to join the final Community Conversation regarding the recently completed Middle School Feasibility Study. The event is set to take place Monday, December 9 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Charles F . Patton Middle School.

Guests will be invited to review architectural firm Marotta/Main’s report and, based on the findings, share their feedback on whether to maintain, renovate or replace the district’s current middle school.

All are welcome, including staff, students, families, partners and residents. Registration is encouraged, but not required.

“For years, members of our community have called attention to chronic concerns about the Middle School building and campus, ” said UCFSD Superintendent John Sanville. “Given those concerns, we are reviewing all relevant possibilities for improving them. As a first step, the School Board voted in June to approve a Feasibility Study with architectural firm Marotta/Main.”

After providing multiple opportunities for public engagement, including an initial information session, community conversation, community survey and on-demand FAQ, the UCFSD School Board will vote in February 2025 on a recommendation to maintain, renovate or replace the current middle school.

As of now, no decisions have been made.

The Feasibility Study Report will be presented again along with a recommendation at a special board meeting on Monday, January 6 from 7 to 10 p.m. at Charles F. Patton Middle School.The board will vote on whether to maintain, renovate or replace the current middle school at the February 18 regular board meeting.
