[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]

So the School Board is voting on whether to extend the timeline (implementation in 2017 vs. 2016) on 11/23.  Is it pretty safe to assume that they'll vote to approve this recommendation? It would seem strange for the Board to just say "we don't care what the redistricting committee - people who we've tasked to do this properly -  think, do it on a short turn around anyway".....but I get the sense that it isn't necessarily unheard of for Boards to make shall we say, not so wise decisions! Obviously we'll see come 11/23, I was just trying to get a handle on what would be expected.[/quote]
