Minutes: The Boundary Advisory Committee is a group of citizens of teachers and parents who are brought together to look at the elements necessary to create an adequate and appropriate school population for the new school.  The process is a procedure that was established in the school policy two years ago to build consensus and create total community awareness of the needs of placement of students in new schools.  It works well as it shares information with our community at large.  The committee is composed of thirty-gfve members.  Most of the members were at all five committee meetings and came to consensus on the final redistricting plan.
