We understand that this survey may require more time & focus to complete compared to others, as it involves reviewing the background information and definitions of the Guiding Principles, Boundary Criteria, and understanding the Draft Boundary Concept.
The complexity of the boundary process is why we have held 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿, including the community meeting when this survey was launched.

𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲: The next community meeting on this topic, as a follow-up to the survey and to discuss next steps, will be held on January 9, 2025.

Please remember that the draft boundaries included in the survey are exactly that—a 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁, awaiting your input. 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 to reflect the needs and preferences of parents, guardians, staff, and community members.
We encourage you to take some time today or tomorrow to review the information and complete the survey. This is a major decision, and your voice matters.
