Who is really going to be helped by this kind of musical chairs approach to redistricting?[/b] Are kids who move from WJ to Churchill , or Churchill to Wootton, really going to be better off? Will it signficantly change the FARMS mix of the various schools? Seems like a lot of inconvenience to families for not much in the way of concrete results.

Shift people around as little as possible to deal with disparities in capacity in the various schools --- which even critics will find defensible, even if it is not something that they welcome -- and leave it at that.

County taxpayers.

The boundaries haven't been looked at systematically since the 1980s, there are under-capacity schools next to over-capacity schools, there are a lot of kids on buses going a long way. [b]NOT doing a boundary analysis at this point would be mismanagement.[/b][/quote]

Well said!  Amazing to me that we have schools sitting under capacity and some so far over capacity.  Taxpayers should want this study!  Signed - Wootton Cluster Parent [/quote]
