Well, the committee obviously took everyone's input on notification about the process, there are 2 articles, one on the 14th in the Oregonian, then one on the 16th in the Argus. I still would like to see notes sent home with the kids from the schools. [edit - I just noticed that there was a notice in Nov.

My first thought is to ask the Argus why the district had to 'push' this info into the dead tree press? Is anyone on the staff assigned to keep in touch with district news? Why didn't the notice show up until the day of the 3rd public meeting? Another puzzling fact is that the article refers Beaverton parents to their district website but tells Hillsboro parents to call the Hillsboro district phone number. Why?
Evidently the Argus reporters were too busy dreaming about write-ups in the Culture section on the latest Modern Interpretive Dance Exposition at the proposed JB Thomas/Argus Community Arts Center to notice that every family in the district was being dramatically impacted by a boundary process.
