| | | | | Hundreds of community members participated in community meetings across the city to discuss student assignment and school choice policies, including school boundaries and feeder patterns. Now, the Deputy Mayor for Education and the Advisory Committee for Student Assignment will present their draft recommendations and get your feedback. Your feedback will be used to develop final recommendations. The upcoming community meetings will be held in three locations throughout the city. At each meeting, participants will hear an overview of the proposed citywide policies and then break into one of three groups to discuss how policies would impact specific communities and schools. Each discussion group will focus on one high school and its corresponding proposed elementary and middle schools that feed into it.
