Implement a boundary system in Stapleton neighborhood schools.
Currently, many kids in Stapleton live across the street or mere blocks from a school, but are being being turned away or placed on waitlists and sent to other schools in the neighborhood simply because there are no school boundaries. Kids on the same street are going to different schools, which takes away from the community centered lifestyle and walkability factor of the neighborhood. Now that there are five schools and thousands of incoming students, school boundaries need to take effect in Stapleton. This would not impact the students currently enrolled in a school. They would remain in their school and their siblings would be given priority.
----------------
The growth of this petition has captured the attention of the local school board representatives. I have requested a formal meeting to present our proposal for establishing clear neighborhood boundaries.

Fix this mess. The current system is unfair to the families moving here.

It makes no sense to have kids on the same block split up. Let them walk to school together.

My son has to bus across town when we can see the playground from our front porch. This is ridiculous.
