Elementary Boundary Review Community Input
LOSD is planning boundary changes to balance enrollment at Lake Grove and Oak Creek to ensure students have adequate spaces and resources for equitable educational experiences. How the boundaries are changed will come from the recommendation of the Elementary Boundary Review Committee, which is being informed by input and feedback from our learning community.
Our community can provide feedback in many ways. The committee recently hosted an Open House session, which it's materials are available on the district homepage Trending Topics, Elementary Boundary Review 2022.
A second survey for community feedback is open on the website, which is where written, anonymous feedback can be submitted for the committee's consideration. The survey will remain open through Tuesday, Feb. 22 at 9 a.m.
The boundary committee meetings are open for observation. The Boundary Review Committee has its third and final meeting next week:
