[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will Option 1-4 come back into play or is it just Options A-D plus whatever comes out to address closing if SSIMS? Dr. Taylor said something at the last BOE meeting that made it sound like all options are on the table, but it wasn’t clear if he literally meant all of the ones released so far.[/quote]

He went out of his way to say they would be presenting all the boundary options again -- and when pressed about whether that included the first four, he said yes. So I presume everything is on the table.[/quote]

I was super confused by that. Why would we still be considering the first set of options when the second set was a refinement of those first options.

I'm hoping it just wants to present the first set for comparison/contrast purposes but if the first set is being considered still, then this process makes no sense.[/quote]

The first set of options had a lot of nonstarters and flaws. While there are definitely people who are rightfully unhappy about personally being redistricted in the second set of options, they are all at least realistic and workable for the most part. Someone is going to get moved no matter what and those people will probably be unhappy. It’s not productive to make even more people unhappy to give schadenfreude to the folks impacted in the second set of options. They ironed out a variety of kinks to get to the second set. The third set should really only be to incorporate the SSIMS potential changes and any other refinements that popped up in the feedback from round 2. It should not revert back to the crazy pants first options. [/quote]

Especially since we weren’t even supposed to go three rounds of options and we only changed the scope because of the possible SSIMS situation. [/quote]
