Elementary Boundary Recommendation

Revised Elementary Proposal - Until recently, it was planned that the district would be adding an additional elementary school to open in the fall of 2010 and that existing attendance boundaries, despite some crowding issues, could be sustained until that time. Recently revised enrollment projections, reflecting the economic slowdown and its effect on the housing market, has forced revision of that plan. It now seems obvious that the next elementary school will not open before 2013 or 2014 and the current boundaries cannot be sustained until that time.

The Boundary Task Force was charged with developing new elementary attendance areas that could be sustained for 4-5 years or until the next elementary becomes a reality. Following community feedback on the initial proposal for elementary boundary revisions, from a public meeting on March 3, the Task Force is now coming forward with a revised proposal. The revised version does move approximately 130 more elementary students than the original proposal, but the Task Force believes the changes allow the boundaries to be more sustained over a longer period of time. The total number of students impacted by the revised proposal is approximately 300.

The Task Force proposes no changes for East Union Elementary. Additional neighborhoods are affected by the second proposal. Please read carefully.

The revised proposal includes:
