This is a petition to stop the South Lyon School Board from implementing any of the redistricting plans as presented to them. While all 3 options may be viable, none are truly a fit for our growing community. We need the Board to reopen discussions and allow additional time to make a sound decision using more accurate data and family/neighborhood input. We would like to ensure that original Guiding Principles are used, however that safety, bus travel and proximity to schools are also considered and all factors are weighted appropriately. We cannot foresee the future but we do know that the data relied upon, as of March 18, 2013, is not complete.

Why move kids out of their community when we still have so much empty space elsewhere. Logic is missing here.

The board is rushing this way too fast. We need to actually look at the neighborhood growth before they move all these kids around.

This whole plan is a mess. The data is outdated and it feels like nobody is actually listening to us.

My kids have enough stress already. Stop messing with our schools and listen to the parents for once.

Slow down and do it right. My daughter should be able to walk to her school without being bused across town because of bad math.
