What the SB was contemplating appropriately would have made capacity the threshold issue (i.e. is a school significantly overenrolled or below capacity).

Only then would they consider a boundary change, and look at factors similar to those identified here (SES, commute time, distance, community). They wouldn't and shouldn't make a fetish out of contiguous boundaries, as avoiding or eliminating attendance islands might conflict with other considerations that deserve equal or greater attention.

Much ado...[/quote]

Yawn all you want.  You put SES first after capacity--and so did they.  And, they were also implying there would be county wide redistricting which would eliminate capacity as #1.  In fact, capacity was not #1 on their list.

Several Board and staff members were fairly explicit at the July work session that SES and other considerations only kicked in after a decision had already been made that a boundary change was needed for capacity reasons. [/quote]
