Community Feedback All three Interim Boundary Options were perceived as essentially the same option Why was only one area considered for redirection and why were other areas not an option for redirection? Move only the students for the new Alton Village School and keep the St. Christopher and St. Elizabeth Seton School boundar ies as is Community requested to see additional school boundary options involving the school attendance area North of Dryden Avenue and West of Orchard Road 19

Community Feedback Option #1 was selected as the most preferred option of the three Interim Options To respond to the community feedback the SBRC requested an extension of time from the Board to complete its mandate A second Open House/Community Information Meeting was scheduled for March 8, 2012 to provide another opportunity for the community to comment and submit input 20
