    Meeting Welcome

    The meeting opened at 6:14pm. with a welcome by Deputy Superintendent Johnny Hill who thanked everyone for their participation and work on this important process.  Sheri Sides led an ice breaker for tablemates to get acquainted.

    Mr. Hill reminded the members that this is the final committee meeting working with the current resources.  During the March, April and May meetings, our demographer will be present to give reports.

    Table Group Work

    Each table group will review the efficiency framework for each elementary school in the West cluster feeder pattern consisting of:

    • Elementary Schools Maps
    • Student Enrollment & Capacity Analysis by Feeder Pattern

    • The group will use a polling application to assess and work toward consensus. Access the application with a mobile phone or device. A QR code will be provided to access the application.
    • Table groups will discuss the information and options but polling will be by individual members through the application.
