Canyons District proposed school boundary changes
The below message was forwarded on for me to post here:
Hi Everyone!
Just a note to friends: Canyons School District has had a boundary committee working for several months to propose possible boundary changes throughout Canyons District, including proposed boundaries for the new high school in Draper and Alta High School. These boundaries would take affect for the 2013-14 school year. Also at this time, grade realignment will happen (6th grade will move to middle school and 9th grade will move to high school).
Each level of education (elementary, middle and high) has 2 proposed options. The district is hosting public meetings to present these (see attached flier) prior to the committee making final recommendations to the Board of Education on May 17. They really want public input and the deadline for this is May 12th!
Please go online to www.canyonsdistrict.org and view the proposals and the rationale for each proposal. Then fill out the online form with your feedback. Again, May 12 is the deadline for this.
Each person will look at these proposals differently. I will give you a few things I've noted in the south end of the valley - and each of these things will mean something different to each of you - that is why it is SO IMPORTANT for you to look at the maps and give your input!
The Cranberry Hill area is finally boundaried to a neighborhood school and is not pocket bussed to 2 different schools any longer
Suncrest is boundaried to the closest neighborhood schools (and the new high school) and is not pocket bussed any more.
All of Draper is not in the new high school boundaries: one proposal has east of 13th East remaining at Alta, the other proposal has west of the freeway (and most of the new growth) going to Jordan High School. For my immediate area, the proposal that leaves east of 13th East at Alta, divides our stake youth between high schools.
My particular neighborhood remains at Crescent View Middle in one middle school proposal and is moved to Indian Hills in the other.
A friend is moving and buying a new house. She is very excited about attending the new high school, yet her new house would be in Alta's boundaries in one of the proposals.
As you can see, every person will look at the maps differently and see different effects. This is the input that the committee is needing - they do not know the particulars to every situation, so please look at it from your perspective and give input.
Thanks!
