What Happens Next?

Reflecting on What Was Learned

  • Goal is to get it right, not just get it done.

  • Community wants more input, earlier in the process.

  • The Board will play a stronger role in shaping the next steps.

Building a Stronger Process

  • Listen First

  • Collaborate with the Board

  • Align - ensure next steps reflect a shared understanding and purpose

Clarify Our Priorities

  • Which criteria should guide the process?

  • Should certain criteria be prioritized or weighted more heavily than others?

  • How should socioeconomic balance factor into redistricting decisions?

  • What role should proximity and feeder patterns play?

  • How should the timing of attendance transitions be handled?

  • How should siblings be considered?

  • The Board’s Policy Committee will meet with legal counsel to review Policy 5120 and recommend updates.

  • The Board will discuss and approve an updated redistricting framework and timeline.

  • Initiate conversations with Planning NEXT to help facilitate focus groups that include families, staff, students, and community leaders.

Timeline
