Live reporting for the redistricting advisory committee meeting underway from the FHS media center, a hybrid meeting with a bunch of folks also virtually participating #rac0117
Superintendent Lucas Giguere opens the meeting with some logistics and a review of the timeline for the process #rac0117
Four scenarios (actually 5, but the 5th is currently off the table) will share the photos of the slides via Google album #rac0117
Photos of the slides shared tonight in one album photos.app.goo.gl/dz7Un9eCmvqokE… #rac0117
Question from the chat, has looking at K-4 and 5-8 being looked at? Not formally discussed, can be looked at. #rac0117
While the 5th scenario was closing another elementary school as 'off the table', it isn't really as one of the members raised it as a carry over option from the prior report; i.e. 1 high, 1 middle and less elementary (if you change the assumptions, it could be viable) #rac0117
One person makes an argument about the easier choice of moving 5th to middle and gaining the balance; quick counter from another member impact of the students involved for that change would be more challenging; #rac0117 more than numbers
Q on commitment previously made to DT parents, to take care of them, could be 3rd school in x # of years to consider; #rac0117 research still underway to see if anything in writing. Consider Rem/Jeff and Keller/Sullivan as middle schools with one high school and minimize impact
Table discussion underway for the 4 tables here in the Media center less tweeting until they complete and begin the report out to the larger group #rac0117
Scene in the FHS media center all tables heads down deep in discussion #rac0117
While we're at it, when the recording is shared, it will include the large group portion, exclude the individual table discussions, and include the table report outs as well as the final group wrap up. #rac0117
Practical matter, each of the table discussions can't realistically record only the table, each of them pick up the background of the other conversations, and it would sound like a whole lot of sound without making a lot of sense. We don't need that headache #rac0117
Meeting 4, next scheduled for Feb 7, hybrid as well. (Feb 2 was previously scheduled?) #rac0117 , there is a Mar meeting as well.
Oops, I misunderstood, I thought they were doing report outs by table, they are not. They are done for the evening. So we'll catch you next time! #rac0117
