Thank you. Do we have a preview of what they will look like?[/quote]

Not really. We just have this list of "working assumptions" from the August BOE meeting:

Next Round of Boundary Study Options

Working Assumptions Aligned to Board Policy FAA Factors and Feedback from Initial Options

● Include Proposed 6 Region Model in option development
● Prioritize proximity of neighborhoods and communities to schools (this the #1 piece of feedback we have received from community engagement)
● Minimize length of school bus rides and maximize safe walk zones whenever possible
● Avoid disproportionate split articulation whenever possible
● Minimize disruptions for communities who have experienced recent boundary changes and those who experience additional school transitions (primary and intermediate schools)
● Maintain the 80 to 100 percent efficient facility utilization range for middle and high schools included in the boundary study scopes
● Consider costs for resources associated with options (staffing, facilities, transportation, etc.) in order to be fiscally responsible[/quote]

If they were able to include all of the above assumptions, this boundary study would have been over and done with, with the majority of stakeholders happy. We all know that we will be lucky if everyone gets ONE thing off that list considering the first 4 options included 1 (at most) of the above for our neighborhood.[/quote]

These are all favorable criteria and I hope you and your neighborhood respect as well.Potomac[/quote]
