Boundary Adjustment Planning
The committee will begin meeting July 7, 2021 to examine scenarios and evaluate the options. The community will have the opportunity to review the scenarios and provide constructive feedback at public forums in November 2021. The committee will use the public feedback to consider how it can be integrated into the plan.
The board will vote on the plan in early 2022 for implementation in the 2022-23 school year.

En el taller del 17 de mayo de 2021, la Junta de Educación estableció un cronograma para determinar los ajustes de los límites de colindancias a fin de equilibrar la inscripción en las 33 escuelas del distrito. Se establecerá un comité de partes interesadas del distrito para revisar las tendencias de inscripción, desarrollar escenarios de colindancias, albergar foros comunitarios y recomendar un plan a la Junta de Educación. El comité tendrá representantes de cada escuela y de la comunidad en general. Si está interesado en ser voluntario, proporcione su información aquí.
El comité comenzará a reunirse el 7 de julio de 2021 para examinar escenarios y evaluar las opciones.
