Conclusion

The Shawnee Mission School District is committed to providing the best education to meet the needs and successfully prepare every student in our district for a successful future. The boundary change process was established to:

• address overcrowding in some school facilities
• effectively utilize other school facilities that are under capacity
• support the opening of a new school
• anticipate enrollment needs in areas of new home construction and/or multi-family living areas

In developing this recommendation for boundary adjustments, we engaged parent and community input and gathered feedback via in-person forums, e-mail, and phone communication. We have reviewed initial plans based on feedback provided and adjusted some elements to create this

• recommendation. We recognize that boundary adjustment discussions are difficult and often

emotional for families. We want to assure board members, parents, students, and the community that any changes implemented will include planning to ensure transitions are successful and a priority is placed on building connections and relationships within new school communities. We believe this plan supports our commitment and will allow us to best serve our students.
