Boundary Review Meeting Summary for April 30

Highlands resident, Chris Hysom, attended the Boundary Review Committee meeting last night at the Administration Building. Below is his brief summary.

"After some general conversations, the group discussed BRC and District-generated proposals that would alter the original springboard positions by moving some neighborhoods from one elementary school to another. The final result was that the group approved some changes that affected jurisdictions of Sunny Hill, Endeavor, and I think Challenger.

A proposal from the previous meeting that would have added a neighborhood to Grand Ridge (and substantially increased the student population at GR) died after the District explained that they wanted to leave growing room at GR for projected growth."


A mini-summary of the meeting minutes are available for viewing here. The official minutes should be up on the district website sometime next week, I believe. If you would like to view the minutes for past boundary review committee meetings, you will find them here.

The next boundary review committee meeting will be held on May 7th at the Administration Building. The BRC will finalize boundaries in preparation for the Public Preview Nights.

Three Public Preview nights have been scheduled at 6:00-7:30 pm:
May 20: Liberty, Commons 204
May 21: Skyline, Low Commons
May 22: Issaquah High, Commons K
