Defining Communities of Interest
March 26, 2020
1st Question: what is your neighborhood or community of interest?
A Community of Interest is generally defined as a neighborhood or community of shared interests, views, problems, or characteristics.
Possible community feature/boundary definitions include:
School attendance areas
Natural neighborhood dividing lines, such as highway or major roads, rivers, canals, and/or hills
Areas around parks and other neighborhood landmarks
Common issues, neighborhood activities, or legislative/election concerns
Shared demographic characteristics
Such as similar levels of income, education, or linguistic isolation
2nd Question: Does a Community of Interest want to be united in one district, or to be divided to have a voice in multiple elections?

Attendance Zones

Attendance zones are the most common “community of interest” in school districts, but the more common policy directive is to try to ensure multiple representatives for each attendance zone where possible.
