The scale of this response is forcing the school board to take notice of our opposition. I have secured a meeting with the district office to present these objections directly. Expect an update on the specific agenda items they agree to address.

If a student is currently in a HS, allow that student to stay at that HS if they wish.
My son is in kindergarten. This has nothing to do with the high school that he will go to. He will go to Jefferson regardless if they redistrict him now. They want to bust him halfway across the county to an elementary school that is at least 10 miles from our home instead of the school that is 2 miles away. It doesn't make any sense.
This will be dangerous. Going from Breckenridge/Beal Air to Jefferson is 3 miles and 7 minutes on back roads. Going to Washington means 7 miles and 14 minutes (with no traffic) but worse yet, past a blind RR track crossing and a right hand turn at one of the worst intersections in the county. For buses and new drivers, this could prove tragic. How many fatalities will it take to realize this was a dumb idea?
They need to leave our kids in the school they are in now. Jefferson is closer for us then Washington and if I'm willing to driver her back and forth it shouldn't matter. I want my daughter to graduate from the same school I did and she wants the same.
this is all kinda stupid tbh, you all act like it's because they wanna separate you guys but do you realize how over crowded jhigh is rn?? it's a complete mess. wayyy too many people go to jhigh and idk but it has to change considering they have double the more freshman than seniors this year
i dont want this to happen lots kf friends will break, also washington will have the same problem as jefferson
THIS SUCKS. I WANA STAY WITH MY BEST FRIENDS BUT THIS IS TEARING OUR 3 YEAR PLAN APART. LOTS OF TEARS

Our son just started 9th grade and is having an amazing experience with the band at JHS. The increased time and distance will create a situation for hardship to continue at WHS, this is so disappointing. We moved into Sheridan Estates because of the zoning for Shipley; HFMS AND JHS.
