[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The timeline is going to be pushed back for implementation in 2017-2018. This came out of the committee last night and will be voted on by the board at the next meeting. Main reason for pushing back is that the Superintendent just released a new CIP that adds a new elementary school in the west end for the 2017-2018 school year (using leased commercial space.) The redistricting needs to take into account the new elementary. The biggest capacity issues are in the west end, and no amount of redistricting is really going to solve the problem without the addition of more capacity.[/quote]

I think it's crazy that the Superintendent didn't provide that information prior to the committee starting work.  I mean if he knew he was increasing capacity in the West End, why wouldn't he just say that up front? What other surprises will come up during the process?

It's budget season. They have to go through the budget process and actually approve the CIP capacity projects. Then there's the City budget process that goes up until May. The City Council could very well reject requested funding levels and not provide enough money to do any of this. So there could be many surprises.[/quote]
