Hillsboro School District Holds First Community Meeting on Boundary Adjustments.
The Boundary Committee presented its Plan 3 proposal on Nov. 19 to community members packed in the Evergreen Middle School library. Large boundary maps were posted along the library shelves for viewing.
Deputy Superintendent Carlos Perez provided background information on the process and rationale behind the boundary adjustments. Robin Biden, Director of Transportation Services, explained where planned boundaries changed from existing lines and the preliminary Plan 1 proposal, and how enrollment numbers at each school were affected.
Together, Perez and Biden answered many questions from the audience. In general, questions centered around distance or transportation issues, breaking up close communities, and school feeder and enrollment changes. Perez noted that everyone's comments, oral and written, are considered by the Committee.
He also cautioned that the boundary plan is a work-in-progress that can shift as comments and district criteria are evaluated throughout the process. It is not final until the Board reviews the Committee's recommendation in January 2008 and formalizes its decision in February 2008. Perez invited everyone to attend as many community and work meetings as they wish to keep up to speed and comment on changes. This web site also will continue to post changes as soon as they are made available.
