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!

Important information for career and technical classes
Sorry for the lengthy post, please read in its entirety. The district is proposing pulling some classes from the junior and high schools and your comments are essential.
Please see below for how to make your voice heard on this matter!
I found out during the last PTA meeting at Canyonview Elementary that the district has a board meeting every first and third Tuesday of each month. Generally during the first meeting of the month they have a business meeting and the second meeting of the month is a study session with a very short business meeting in which they approve the agenda items but don’t take public comment - but they are making an exception for the Feb 16th meeting.
During the school boards last meeting on Feb 1st a proposal was brought up to remove career and technical education type classes (CTE) from middle and high schools so that there could be more focus on other areas. Some of the classes that are under consideration for removal are home economics, cosmetology, auto mechanics, wood shop, and metal shop.
The district posts the meeting minutes once they have been approved on their website.
You can view the minutes from that meeting here:
http://www.canyonsdistrict.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&layout=category&task=category&id=89&Itemid=259
From those meeting minutes you can also link to the power point presentation given during the meeting by clicking on the blue highlighted words: potential options or follow this link:
http://www.boarddocs.com/ut/canyons/Board.nsf/files/8DJUKJ7C7006/$file/CTEC%20Presentation%20to%20Board-020111-FINAL.pdf
Page three of the power point outlines the three options being considered. Option A, removal of all CTE classes from schools, Option B would retain the status quo for these types of classes, and Option C would have limited CTE classes.
The district is allowing for a comment period regarding this proposal until their next board meeting on Tuesday February 15th. Although this is the second monthly meeting it will be open for public comments. If you would like to comment, you must show up prior to the 7:30 start time and sign up to give comments. Individuals are allowed 3 minutes. If you are speaking for a group, you are allowed 6 minutes and must elect a spokesperson.
You can also send comments to communictions@canyonsdistrict.org
Or to the superintendent David Doty at David.doty@canyonsdistrict.org
Or call the district at 801-826-5000
