The Good News

  will
• Permit all residents of the Driscoll attendance
  area to attend Driscoll and eliminate overflow to
  Tejeda
• Reduce enrollment at area middle schools
• Reduce reliance on portable buildings
• Send children to schools closer to home

The Bad News

  attendance boundaries

Feedback FromPreliminary Meetings

• Keep Canyon View at Bradley
• Keep Hollywood Park at Bradley
• Keep Thousand Oaks Neighborhoods at Bradley they
  look like they are close to Driscoll, but there
  is no direct route
• Keep Redland Estates at Bradley
• Move Redland Estates to Driscoll
• Move Longs Creek to Harris
• Set Wood/Harris Boundary at Stahl Road
• Safety Concerns Crossing Nacogdoches to Wood
• Preference for Grandfathering All Students
• Preference for Grandfathering with Busing
• Eliminate Grandfathering
• Preference for Aligned Feeder System
• No Jazz Band at Driscoll for Students Moving from
  Bradley

19
Our ThinkingGeneral Ideas About New Boundaries

• Driscoll
• Significant Enrollment Reduction by Moving
  Eastern Neighborhoods to Harris
• Eliminate Overflow Situation
• Bradley
• Reduce Enrollment Somewhat by Moving Some Eastern
  Neighborhoods to Driscoll
• Wood
• Reduce Enrollment Somewhat so that Future Growth
  can be Accommodated by Moving Some Northern
  Neighborhoods to Harris

Feeder School Effects

• Modeled Changes To The Feeder System Are Only Due
  To Possible Middle School Boundary Changes Under
  Consideration
• No Elementary Schools Or High Schools Boundary
  Changes Are Modeled Analysis Assumes That
  Neighborhoods Continue At The Same Elementary
  Schools And High Schools
