Dysart Boundary Advisory Committee 11/13/2013
Notes, Questions, Answers
K. Is it possible to keep [White Tank Foothills] at Mountain View? Those students walk/ride bikes (some do) to school. Luke is much farther away. Could they be given a choice to stay or go and then be committed to that decision? See plan B

R. How many total families are impacted? Refer to Total Students Impacted on Poster S. Will 8th graders move? 7'" and s'" grade students will return to Mountain View in both
plans Band C T. Are there only two plans to consider? Seems there are only two choices. Several other
plans were considered prior to plans Band C U. Could we do K-7 schools and 8-12 at the High School campuses to balance numbers? An
effort was made to minimize impact. Moving all s'" graders to high school would have high impact.
V. What does that do for our class ratio for teachers? Class size is not be affected by boundary changes

Boundary Advisory Committee meetings until shared with the Governing Board on December 4, 2013.

available during Boundary Advisory Committee meetings until shared with the Governing Board on December 4, 2013.
CC. What is the sustainability of both plans?. The plans are sustainable for the next 3 to 5 years, at which point only new school construction will prevent widespread overcrowding.
DD. What will happen to the Pre-School building if all buildings get preschools? Could it be used? DECEC will be used to relieve Western Peaks when needed
EE. Won't these changes affect the high schools? Why not address both boundaries at the same time? K-8 and HS? Or, address difficulties with partial or 25% feeders: Feeder -100% to [same] high school? An effort was made to minimize impact. Changing high school boundaries is not critical at this time and would have high impact.
