Notes from Dec 2 2014 SD2 Redistricting Committee Meeting

Goals for the night: Review new data and handouts. Discuss 5 scenarios. Chose top 4 for community information session.

Enrollment forecast update: Previous forecast 366 too high. Grades K,1,2,3 had biggest losses. Some students even went to Laurel. Due to migration to private schools and outlying school districts. Once families migrate to outlying districts, they will stay there and SD2 will not see them until middle or high school. Rate can change once middle schools come online and elementary schools are less crowded.

Students east of west end schools are generating complaints from community for being moved out of walkable schools.

Presentation of options:

  • Option 1 has area from Lake Hills Golf Course to Lake Elmo going to Sandstone. Other 4 options have them going to Eagle Cliffs. 
  • Option 1 has McKinley feeding into Riverside middle school...concerns of too much free and reduced lunch demographics.
  • Lots of discussion about area just east of Arrowhead and west of 32nd street. If Ironwood and Copper Ridge kids go to Arrowhead, then these students have to cross 32nd street to Boulder.
