Is over and underutilization of buildings avoided to the extent possible? ● Stable, long-term boundaries -- Do the projections show long term stability and result in avoiding the need for additional boundary changes in the short term? ● Transportation -- Does the option demonstrate cost effective transportation? ● Fiscally Responsible -- Does the option strive to reduce unnecessary costs? ● Student Experience -- Does the option demonstrate an effort to reduce the number of school moves students have experienced? Are cohorts kept together? ● Other -- Any other criteria recommended by the Boundary Review Steering Committee or Boundary Review Committee
