Quick update before I eat dinner:
The only key decision made in today's working session was to add Ladd Acres students back into Indian Hills and this will be presented as Plan #5 next Monday and Thursday at Community Meetings. This adds 66 students to 46 added east of 198th (2 more kids being added south of Johnson) for a total add to current enrollment of 112 students.
There are no work sessions planned prior to those meetings so there are unlikely to be any changes made unless it happens behind the curtain.
I will add to this post as I can, email went out to PTO mail list to share the update. I encourage those who are best in touch with the impact of adding 27% to current enrollment to put together a statement for the next meeting in one week, Monday night at Poynter.
Bad News: No resolution on Eastwood/Brookwood. The committee seems resigned to Plan #3 boundaries for the schools after devoting most of 2 working sessions to the problem. They briefly considered sending Brookwood to Brown/Century but nothing was established and no changes going into the next Community meetings for the 2 school boundaries from Plan #3.

As one of the Ladd Acres families affected by the boundary move... I am feeling like a ping pong ball. One week we're at Indian Hills... then Tobias then back to Indian Hills. I say just keep us at Ladd.

After posting the last comment...I found out from a neighbor that when they opened Imlay.. they moved the Ladd/Frances community to Ladd Acres... the district "promised" the community that they would not move us again. I will be mentioning that at the meeting on Monday.... this is what I thought I'd say...
I've been to almost every boundary and community meeting. It's been brought to my attention that in the past the Ladd Acres/Frances community has attended Tobias (Tobias...I'm still verifying that) and Indian Hills. When Imlay was opened they moved us to Ladd Acres and the rest of our neighborhood to Imlay. The Hillsboro School District promised my community that when they moved us to Ladd they would not move us again. Now a few bonds are passed and they are breaking that promise. They have decided that we are "portable" once again and are planning to move us to either Tobias or Indian Hills. I was taught and have taught my children that a promise is a promise. I guess the district feels that promises are meant to be broken!
