Can you specify what the following comment means –

This continues to be an essential action that we must take, and I’m excited it’s nearing its completion. If anything, I consider this to be a very conservative and gradual plan, as it doesn’t affect current students or their siblings, and still gives preferences to new students in affected areas to have first right to their “old” school.

However, very few concerns about the boundary changes were brought up the board meeting itself. Most of the concerns were sent via e-mail or were presented at community meetings that Dr. Baker had prior to the meeting. Most of those concerns were regarding some of the streets in the Devonshire Canyon area which people believed were walkable to Arundel and therefore would be more appropriate to stay in the school zone. So, that is partly why the Superintendent proposed to delay the vote until January, take a tour of that area, and potentially re-look at the map. I suspect that at tonight’s meeting, Dr. Baker will proposed a revised map taking into those considerations…however, any proposal must still ensure that the numbers work out, and that it accomplishes the goal of better matching capacities of the schools with the student population in the various zones.
