South Lyon Residents Demand School Board Selects an Administration Recommended Redistricting Plan
If the Board is redistricting to address overcrowding at Hardy Elementary, then we request that they pass one of the following:
1. The administration's recommendation from the January 16th board meeting: Move Hunter’s Creek and Area #1 (south side of Ten Mile Road between Martindale and Milford Roads, which also includes both sides of Griswold Road) in the fall of 2012‐13 into the Sayre Elementary boundary. Then, the Pinehurst subdivision and Area #2 (north side of Ten Mile Road between Martindale and Milford Roads) would be the next areas to move from Hardy to Bartlett either for 2013‐14 or 2014‐15.
2. The administration's revised recommendation for the February 6th board meeting: Move Hunter’s Creek and Area #1 in the Fall of 2012 into the Sayre Elementary boundary. Move Pinehurst and Area #2 in the Fall of 2012 into the Bartlett Elementary boundary. Move ADEOD Kindergarten and the Magnet Program to Salem Elementary in the Fall of 2012.
3. A modified version of the administration's revised recommendation for the February 6th board meeting: Move Hunter’s Creek and Area #1 in the Fall of 2012 into the Sayre Elementary boundary. Move Pinehurst and Area #2 in the Fall of 2012 into the Bartlett Elementary boundary. Move ADEOD Kindergarten and the Magnet Program to Brummer Elementary in the Fall of 2012, instead of to Salem Elementary.
If the board is looking to utilize capacity at Salem Elementary, then per policy 185, we request that they ask the administration to make a formal recommendation specifically for that purpose. An affirmative answer to the question "will this work" is not the same as a recommendation.

I have been hearing from so many of you who are worried about how these sudden boundary changes will disrupt our children and their classrooms. The school board has been silent since their vote, but we are keeping the pressure on because the administration had a plan that actually makes sense for our families.

Seeing so many neighbors speak up for our kids makes me realize we are truly on the right path. I never expected this much support for our families when I first started this, but now the momentum feels impossible to ignore.

MY KIDS ARE SICK OF THE CONSTANT CHANGES TO THEIR SCHOOL MAPS. STICK TO THE PLAN.
Ridiculous decision. Families in our neighborhood already planned for these changes and now it's all up in the air again. Fix this mess.
Really frustrated with how this is being handled. Salem is not the right fit for these areas and it's clear the board isn't listening to the facts.
This makes no sense. Why are they ignoring the experts after they spent all that time coming up with a plan? Listen to the administration for once.
Just stick with the recommendations. It was already figured out months ago. Cut the drama.

Hardy is completely overcrowded. We need to follow the actual plan rather than making things up as we go. Do your job board members.
