What are the strengths of the proposal?

• Minimal movement of kids #65 to new school #100 to Portal
• Relieves stress on current school
• Keeping the school boundaries by neighborhood!
• Lighten the load at PQ
• Not have max capacity classrooms
• Keeping/sending kids to their closest neighborhood school
• Allows better ration and my children not being overwhelmed by the size of PQ
• Better School Sizes
• Straight forward - accounts for future growth
• Geographically makes sense

What concerns do you have about the proposal?

• Taxpayers will not care if you only have 30 kids in a school. They will never know.  Stop moving kids around.
• Building not being complete by fall 2020
• Just don't make another move where you pull a neighborhood you just have to move back.
• Potential timing of opening new building. Opening mid-year is NOT optimal.
• Disrupt children's relationships with friends, teachers & Counselors.
• New Schools have minimal playground equipment. Can't move $ to set aside to establish it when built.  Frustrating for parents that have donated a lot of money towards PQ and have to start over. 
• Kids Club needs playgrounds for summer day to day program.
• Major growth and my children being moved again in 5 years.
• No concerns of this proposal, just future ones that may impact new school boundaries.
• We are losing busing in Prairie Hills, there will not be sidewalks in the new neighborhoods surrounding the new school.
• Timing of opening.

Do you have any suggestions for improving tonight's meeting format?   

• Fix the split of 1 out of 15 elementary schools splitting for high school.
• I like being able to ask questions & voice concerns
