[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did any board members inquire on the academic impact of proposed boundary changes at the high school level?  For example, how would average GPA's, test scores, etc. look different based on students moving in or out?   We are an impacted family and trying to understand the extent of the academic impact, if any.[/quote]

It would be speculation to try and answer those specific questions. They could be more transparent about the anticipated impact on ESOL and FARMS rates, but they don’t want to highlight that they are driving up those percentages at some schools like Justice and Marshall.  [/quote]

They could simply run the numbers using student information from last year.  No speculation involved.  How would these previous year statistics be different if the changes had been in place earlier.[/quote]

Maybe, but it’s more number crunching than they’ve ever undertaken with any prior boundary changes. In the past they’ve provided some information on the anticipated demographic impact but not at that level of granularity.  They certainly won’t do it this time. [/quote]

But this is the first comprehensive review in over 40 years :)[/quote]
