We don't need to move 7300 students to fix overcrowding.  Move the minimum number of students to fix overcrowding.  Do the big "equity fixing" in 2023 so some families don't have to keep switching.

This redistricting pushes a lot of students westward because that's where the capacity is.  Opening a new school is going to pull some students back eastward because that's where the new high school is.

You think pulling families back and forth is good for the families?  3 major redistrictings in 5 years is too much.[/quote]

Why not now? Do the big fix now, do a smaller rezoning just for the high school in 2023.[/quote]

Because it's all going to change again in 2 years.  [b]There is no such thing as a small rezoning when you introduce a high school.[/b]

There is a negative impact each time you do a redistricting, and it takes time to see the positive benefits.

Reduce the negative impact of this reshuffling.  Do a big one in 2023.  Then give it time to settle.

Doing a big redistricting now is just unnecessary churning.  3 times in 5 years?[/quote]

Why isn't there? HCPSS has 12 high schools. This will be the 13th. Why would you have to do a county-wide rezoning for the system's 13th high school? [/quote]
