Community Feedback

• All three Interim Boundary Options were perceived as essentially the same option

• Why was only one area considered for redirection and why were other areas not an option for redirection?

• Move only the students for the new Alton Village School and keep the St. Christopher and St. Elizabeth Seton School boundaries as is

• Community requested to see additional school boundary options involving the school attendance area North of Dryden Avenue and West of Orchard Road

19

Community Feedback

• Option #1 was selected as the most preferred option of the three Interim Options

• To respond to the community feedback the SBRC requested an extension of time from the Board to complete its mandate

• A second Open House/Community Information Meeting was scheduled for March 8, 2012 to provide another opportunity for the community to comment and submit input
