Background & Community Input
Proposed attendance area boundary maps were presented to the Seattle School Board on October 6, 2009. Following that presentation, we gathered feedback. Thousands of people attended community meetings and sent comments via e-mail, postal mail, comment cards, and an online survey. To read these comments, or a high-level summary of them, please click here. Recommended maps were formally introduced on November 4 and were followed by community feedback meetings and a public hearing.
