I'm an engineer so I tend to reduce warm concepts like 'community' and 'neighborhood' down to numbers - here are some on the impact to the local, neighborhood feel of Indian Hills.
Looking at the area of the current boundary, 75% is within 1/2 mile of the school. With the proposed change that ratio drops down to 46%.
Zoom in a little bit and the area of the boundary within 1/4 mile of the school plunges from 33% down to 18%.
One of the most enjoyable things for me is to walk to school with my girls on family night at the start of the school year and see all the other families from the local neighborhood walking with their kids as we anticipate Mr. Callaway's welcome and enthusiastic introduction of the staff.
Next year, I imagine I will just be awestruck by the line of idling SUVs and mini-vans backed up on Rock Road, all trying to find a place to park.

And, yes, in case you were wondering, my habit of breaking warm concepts like "community" and "neighborhood" down to numbers makes me an absolute BLAST at social events.
