Work Session #6

Blogging from the meeting room with my new Cingular wireless connection...

Most of the effort in this meeting centered around looking at boundaries for the new ES#27 to be constructed on 229th south of TV highway - this is very relevant to the schools north of the highway since S. Hillsboro will take years to build in.

The draft boundary would take a chunk of Ladd Acres west of Imlay Street combined with a section of Witch Hazel north of TV highway and combine with the rural areas south of the new school.

This change will likely be presented to the board tomorrow as Plan 6 modified.

IHBN thought: It doesn't make sense to look at boundaries without a plan to fill the newest elementary school in the area - this is an important fact that the committee has recognized. No one can predict how quickly S. Hillsboro will develop and the relief is desperately needed at Ladd Acres and Imlay. The issues this will create will need to be confronted.
