Boundary study and kids entrolled for home school program

[Anonymous]

If the kid is enrolled for a home School program and due to boundary study if the home school changes, will the kid be allowed to continue the same program in (old) home school until graduation?
If the kid is allowed to continue, will the kid still get transportation for the old home school until graduation?

Still TBD. Details like this will be part of the superintendent's recommendation for implementing the new boundaries and subject to a board vote in March.

This is not TBD. At the 7/24 BOe meeting Taylor said that students enrolled in a program would get to complete the program. There is a chart included in the slides that were presented that show how long it will take to phase in all of the new programs.

Now, the reality of how they will staff, afford and transport students in the old and new at the same time has yet to be seen. The BOE keeps asking for more information in these areas.

It does feel like it’s a done deal from the meeting presentation and all decisions are made by Taylor and his design team. There is 0 input from public and BOE.

There was clarification in the discussion that the boundary study phase-in is still TBD.

Not a done deal. Yes, Taylor and his team are putting up recommendations, which is what they're supposed to do. But there's a long way to go still. There will be public hearings on facilities and boundaries in the fall, and I'm sure the board will also hear a ton about the regional programs, as they're all tied together. The question is, if the board isn't convinced to go with Taylor's plan, will there be a viable alternate plan put forward that people can support?

I don’t hear strong objections from BOE and when they finally get to vote, everything is already decided as program capacity is tied with boundary study.

The vote on the programs and regions is supposed to be in December, but the new boundaries vote isn't until March.

At a previous meeting, Yang had some good questions for them about transportation logistics, which they still have not addressed. And Zimmerman has asked twice now about how enough teachers would be trained for this to work. I could see issues like these and/or other budget-related questions causing some changes to the plan or reductions in scope.

That was the previous meeting. In this meeting there hardly any questions.

Which is why I said "at a previous meeting."

What do you mean by "home school program"? Students who are in centrally managed academic programs or consortia will be able to continue in their original program/school. But students who aren't and get assigned to different schools due to boundary changes may not be.

The BOE keeps asking for data about the financial impact, so that will make a difference about if/when/how this gets implemented. Taylor joking with Yang that they would be gone after 2030 to deal with shifting programs around within a region based on student interest was not funny to me as a taxpayer. Why create something so complicated in the first place?

Yes. And Yang is going to be running for county council, so it's also to her advantage to keep pressing about the costs and logistics as a campaign issue.
