Charge of the Committee  To recommend to the Superintendent a comprehensive plan to address K-12 attendance boundaries to include the opening of Robinson Murphy Junior High in the Grande Park subdivision for the 2012-2013 school year.  The committee will also be charged with evaluating present attendance boundaries and recommending any necessary changes to accommodate growth and provide balance among our existing school sites.

The Community Forum  The Boundary Committee, District Administration and the Board of Education recognizes that any time we talk about changes and our children it is emotional and challenging.  The Boundary Committee, District Administration and the Board of Education values feedback and involvement in this process.  Alternatives offered at the forum were previously considered by the Boundary Committee.  The impact of the pros/cons offered through the comments were already considered by the Boundary Committee.  Quality vs. Quantity: If 50 people all say the same thing - I only have "one idea", but if 3 people say three different things - I have perspective.
