2012 Elementary Redistricting
Middle School Feeder Alignment Information
2012 Redistricting Background Information
In order to decrease expenditures and ease overcrowding in some schools, Heritage Elementary School will transition from an all-kindergarten building to a traditional, K-5 building for the 2012-13 school year. This transition created the need for new elementary attendance boundaries.
In December 2011 Olentangy put out a request for volunteers for a redistricting committee. Fifty-five community members responded to the request and all were accepted. The committee developed several attendance boundary options that were presented to the public for feedback during a community dialogue session on January 24, 2012. Residents who could not attend the dialogue session were able to provide feedback through an online survey. Committee members used the feedback to refine the options and present two final recommendations to Superintendent Wade Lucas, Ed.D. Dr. Lucas presented the finalized plan to the community at the February 9, 2012 board of education work session.
