Policy 3130 The following factors shall be considered when the district develops and adjusts attendance areas, boundaries, and considers student transfers: Minimize disruption of student s established learning programs. Keep siblings in the same elementary, middle or high school, whenever possible. Provide overall balance of student enrollment related to facility size, taking into account future growth patterns. Provide a reasonably balanced socio-economic relationship in all schools. Provide the most efficient and feasible means for student transportation to and from school, including whether safe routes to school might exist, minimizing travel time and transportation costs. Keep neighborhoods together, whenever possible. Maintain feeder schools patterns so that elementary/middle/high school attendance areas coincide and students stay with the same cohort as they progress through school levels, whenever possible. Follow natural boundaries and utilize existing physical boundaries such as major roadways to delineate boundaries, whenever possible. *http://bellinghamschools.org/policies/3130-policy/

Provide Feedback on Options Red: I do not think we should move forward with this option. Nor gather feedback. Yellow: I have some reservations. We need feedback from the community on this option. Green: I think this is a strong option and I want to hear feedback. Place your dots on the posters. Each person will get two dots for each color. You may place two greens on the same Option, etc.
How should we gather feedback from the community? Some starting points for your consideration: School visits: What is important for hosting a meeting at a particular school? How should invites be sent? Which schools first? What format helps people get information and dialogue about what they are hearing. Who is presenting? Survey: Do we need an online survey? Why or why not? If we do, what questions do we ask? How do we share our information? Community Locations: Are there places in our community we should hold a meeting about attendance areas other than a school? What is the format?
