I have a child who suffers from ADD/ADHD and has a hard time in new settings. This would directly effect him and his learning.

We chose to live in this area, because of the school so close now you want to change this try adding on to the school before you upset classes for kindergarten children.

This is crazy to pull the young kinds out of a school they are just getting comfortable with and send them to several different school over the next few years and to think a 40 min bus ride is a good idea. And parents with several little one attending all different schools is a crazy idea!

I have been a teacher in a neighboring community for 20 years and this is an absolute insane way of trying to redistrict. I can't even imagine this ever flying in any other district where numbers are much larger. Many of us pay $10,000+ in taxes and have bought homes in certain neighborhoods based on schools. Separating the younger students is not the solution or good for their well being. Not to mention that MANY families will now have children at multiple schools which makes very difficult for activities. No neighboring districts have 6th grade in an elementary school, they should be moved into the junior high before moving primary level children. This has not been well thought out and I will be very disappointed in this district if this option goes through.

What are you people thinking? Do not try and save money on the backs of children!

this is completely ridiculous, why would any parent want there 6-7 on a bus for close to a hour. All boundaries should just stay the way they are.

I do not want the boundaries to change. This is an unacceptable solution to a potential overcrowding issue.

I have seen the negative effects of changing schools when one of my triplets in need of an inclusion setting was moved from her friends and siblings. the long bus ride and isolation resulted in many nights of tears and stress that she never should have gone through. I'll be at the meeting.

One of the reasons we moved into the bristol bay subdivision was because our children would be within walking distance to their elementary school. I do not want my children bussed to an alternate school when we can see Bristol Bay Elementary from our front yard. What a wasted expense on bussing.

i am too concerned about all the school switches. Keep the kids at one school.

We just moved here to purposely live down the block from the school so our younger children would not have to take a bus. If this goes through we may have to look into moving again.
