Olentangy Local Schools is once again preparing for the opening of several new schools in the next few years by addressing existing attendance boundaries. This process is commonly known as redistricting and will include opportunities for community input.
This year, community focus groups will be used to provide specific community feedback related to draft redistricting plan(s). There will be two meetings for these groups in the evening on October 29 and November 5. Since these groups will only meet two times, it is vital that all members attend both sessions.
Four to six focus groups consisting of six to eight members per group for a total of 36 members (three per elementary attendance area) will be used for this process. This figure includes the appointment of several experienced members from past redistricting efforts. The remaining committee positions will be selected by lottery so that each geographic area is represented.
If you are interested in participating on the Redistricting Community Focus Groups, please submit the following information to olswebmaster@olentangy.k12.oh.us:
* your name;
* phone number;
* home address
* the name(s) of the building(s) which your child(ren) currently attend(s); and,
* e-mail address (if available).
Deadline for accepting names is Friday, October 17.
