Three options surface from boundary study

Boundary Committee Chairs Chris Gardea and Dana Jones presented a progress report to the school board last night during a special public work session.

This broad-based committee has been meeting throughout the school year to prepare for a new, larger Edison Elementary and to address concerns of overcrowding at some district elementary schools.

The Boundary Review Committee has narrowed its scope of study to three options. All three options change Prospect Point from a four section school to a three section school and keep enrollment at district elementary schools similar. Blue Ridge is the exception.

It would remain a two section school due to sharing space with Head Start/ECEAP preschool students.

No changes to boundaries for middle school are included in the three options. The Boundary Committee is expected to begin sharing options with the community and staff soon.

Changes are expected to be in effect in the Fall of 2009. The last boundary adjustment was made in 1995.
