Glynn Village and surrounding neighborhoods are opposed to the proposed boundary changes placing our neighborhoods at Waukee Elementary school, a north middle school feeder, and then facing the possibility of moving back to the south feeder system in a few years. We propose zoning to keep Glynn Village (and surrounding neighborhoods) at Maple Grove, in the south feeding system.

I'm an 8th grader at Timberline. Please don't move me to a different school I want to stay with my friends. Think about us not the facts.
The subsequent elementary buildings that open after Grant Regan will have to be to the west due to the amount of new construction on that side of town. I can't see how putting the neighborhoods between University and Ashworth at Waukee Elem is going to work....We will have to be moved again in a few years to make more room.
I disagree the that boundary changes. This change will place an undo hardship on my family as the new school does not provide before or after school care. Nor will it based on the information provided by the board members.
Please don't move our kids! Financially, it's much more costly to send our kids to a different school - BTB costs are approx. $100/mo higher and mentally, our kids need structure and security - moving them around will only confuse and upset them.
My main concern is having to move back and forth from one feeder system to another. It is more important to keep the older children consistent and keep them in the same feeder system.
This a good school with great teachers. Keep it open so our grandgirls can stay in the school they love with friends they have. Theses friendships help kids thru their entire school years. Important part to growing up
My kids have made friends at Maple Grove and for them to have to start over, upsets me and our family. We love this school...the staff, the facilities, everything! We want the best for our kids and in our opinion, that is Maple Grove.

Consider the effects of feeding all the students/families living between Ashworth and University along LA Grant that moved to their neighborhoods thinking their 10+ year old kids could easily walk to school with their friends/family. The home value of living "near schools" has less value to buyers if you cannot attend that building a "block or two" away.
