A
Good
evening,
I'm
shelley
bailey
shaw,
I'm
the
public
communications
officer
for
the
beaverton
school
district,
and
I
want
to
welcome
you
to
the
superintendent's
listening
session
for
the
middle
school
boundary
adjustment.
We
also
want
to
welcome
all
our
public
participants
who
will
be
giving
testimony
in
just
a
few
minutes.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
being
here
and
in
advance.
Thank
you
for
your
constructive
comments
and
feedback.
A
I'm
going
just
to
remind
you
that
we're
going
to
be
adhering
to
a
strict,
two-minute
time
limit,
we
will
set
a
timer,
hopefully
you'll,
be
able
to
see
it
and,
as
your
time
counts
down.
If
you
can
wrap
up
your
comments,
we
will
not
exceed
two
minutes
so
before
we
get
started,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
superintendent
don
grotting.
For
some
brief
comments,.
B
B
As
you
are
aware,
this
is
a
complex
and
often
controversial
process
when
we're
talking
about
where
our
kids
are
going
to
go
to
school,
and
I
really
appreciate
your
advocacy
in
coming
tonight
to
voice
your
opinions
and,
as
shelly
said,
I
won't
be
answering
any
questions
or
responding,
but
we
will
be
taking
copious
notes
and
really
listening
to
your
thoughts
and
everything
so
and
lastly,
I
just
hope
that
all
of
you,
your
families,
are
safe
in
these
unprecedented
times.
So
thank
you
for
being
here.
A
C
Thank
you
so
shelley.
Let
me
share
this.
I
hope
everybody
can
see
this
the
map
here
right
now.
My
intent
here
is
to
go
at
the
30
000
foot
overview
not
get
into
everything
that
the
advisory
committee
considered
and
debated.
It's
just
going
to
be
talking
about
the
boundaries
that
have
been
recommended
to
superintendent
grotting
and
I'm
just
going
to
start
from
the
north
and
work
my
way
south
and
I'll.
Try
to
do
this
as
quickly
as
I
as
I
can.
C
So
I
hope
you
can
see
the
cursor
that
I
have
right
here.
The
blue
area
is
the
stoller
middle
school
boundaries
and
that
includes
west
to
east,
the
springville
sato
and
jacob
wismer
elementary
school.
So
it's
a
complete
feeder
for
those
three
schools
to
stoller
the
timberland
area
middle
school
right
down
here
it
includes
all
of
finley,
bonnie,
slo,
cedar,
mill,
tara,
linda
and
the
western
part
of
I'm
sorry,
the
eastern
part
of
oak
hills
elementary
school.
C
Five
oaks
has
changed
fairly
substantially
in
that
we
now
have
rock
creek
bethany
in
oak
hills,
west,
along
with
mckinley
and
the
west
view
feeding
portion
of
elmonica
feeding
oak
hills,
middle
school
moving
further
south,
we
have
meadow
park
which
is
barnes
elementary
school,
beaver
acres,
elementary
school
and
the
alola
feeding
portion
of
el
monica
right
here
over
here
at
cedar
park.
We
have
west
tv,
elementary
ridgewood
and
all
of
william
walker
fitting
there.
C
A
change
that
occurred
for
william
or
for
cedar
park
as
well
is
what
we're
calling
shahalem
east.
So
it's
the
area
of
shahalam
that
is
east
of
murray
boulevard,
and
this
would
make
all
of
cedar
park
a
beaverton
high
school
feeding
high
school
over
here
in
the
purple
is
the
whitford
middle
school
area.
This
was
a
just
minor
changes
where
this
portion
of
raleigh
park
was
split.
C
C
New
to
mountain
view
is
the
alola
huber
area.
Louie
huber
has
been
going
to
five
oaks,
but
the
committee
has
recommended
moving
them
to
mountain
view.
There
was
a
lot
of
discussion
with
the
advisory
committee
about
cooper,
mountain
and
shahalam
shahilam.
West
cooper
mountain
is
a
an
existing
split
between
highland
park
and
mountain
view.
The
committee
considered,
having
all
of
cooper
mountain
feed
mountain
view,
that
recommendation
is
not
being
carried
forward.
C
The
recommendation
is
to
maintain
existing
boundaries
for
cooper
mountains,
so
the
southern
call
it
two-thirds
will
continue
to
feed
to
highland
and
the
northern
third
of
cooper
mountain
will
continue
to
feed
to
mountain
view
for
highland
park.
The
area
that
has
been
added
to
highland
park
is
out
here
in
the
south
cooper
mountain
area.
The
this
area
is
currently
being
developed.
We
have
no
children
down
here
right
now,
but
we're
expecting
students
fairly
soon.
C
A
D
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
tonight.
For
the
sake
of
time.
I'll
keep
my
comments
concise.
First,
I
want
to
know,
there's
a
difficult,
difficult
process,
not
only
on
the
families
impacted
by
the
changes,
but
those
within
the
district
and
on
the
committee.
So
thank
you
to
everyone
involved
as
a
parent.
Our
first
priority
is
wanting
what's
best
for
our
children.
Unfortunately,
that
desire
doesn't
always
align
with
our
neighbors
and
we
all
have
opinions
on
the
outcomes
of
this
and
they're
all
valid
in
their
own
ways.
D
My
children
have
been
in
the
cooper
mountain
to
highland
park
to
mountainside
path,
though,
there's
been
some
changes
during
the
remapping
efforts,
it's
back
to
where
it
started
as
you
just
you
may
have
just
noticed.
I
would
like
to
support
the
current
rendering
for
our
area
and
I
hope
to
see
that
stay
that
way
for
the
years
ahead,
though,
other
areas
have
significant
changes.
E
Hi
I
looked
into
that
the
recent
recommendations
and
I
am
a
parent
of
a
my
son.
He
goes
to
findlay
right
now
and
I
can
see
that
today
in
the
meeting
the
undivided
friendly,
which
is
going
to
the
timberland.
I
support
that
one.
However,
I
also
would
recommend
that
the,
if
possible,
the
whole
of
the
suma
going
to
the
timberland,
the
one
that
will
take
care
of
a
lot
of
issues
at
the
like.
E
I
mean
over
population
at
the
stroller
and
because
finley
is
the
one
who
is
providing
most
of
the
students
to
the
summa
anyway,
it
makes
a
good.
I
mean
kind
of
automatic
choice
that
it
will
get
to
that.
The
summa
will
go
to
their
to
the
timberland
and
there
are
talks
about
like
having
split
sumas
those
kind
of
things.
Many
of
many
such
sumatra.
Many
such
things
would
lead
to,
like
I
mean
multiple
bus
routes
and
those
kind
of
things
which
is
probably
not
preferable,
and
so
therefore,
I
would
keep
it
very
simple.
E
Like
I
agree
with
the
committees
like
the
just
now,
he
was
talking
about
like
the
full,
undivided
friendly
going
to
timbaland.
That
one
is
fine,
but
it
would
also
be
preferable
if
we
can
have
the
suma
undivided
going
to
the
timberland,
because
I
feel
that
it
has
got
the
capacity
and
that's
the
best
way.
That's
the
I
mean
distance
and
it
should
be.
Thank
you.
F
F
All
right
good
evening,
first,
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
effort
and
the
work
that
went
into
it
by
the
committee.
It
was
a
challenging
project.
There
were
clear
objectives
from
the
start,
but
new
objectives
and
criteria
throughout
the
process
created
a
moving
target
and
I've
listened
to
all
the
the
testimonies
from
multiple
groups,
and
I
think
the
concerns
for
every
from
every
community
is
valid.
F
It's
not
a
perfect
solution,
but
we
as
oak
hills.
We
do
support
the
current
map
as
an
oak.
What
I
want
to
share
is:
is
oak
hills
decision
to
split
at
elementary,
we
came
together
as
a
community,
both
sides
of
bethany
boulevard
to
decide
what
was
best
for
our
students
and
we
could
stay
with
the
current
split
process
that
would
send
95
percent
of
the
student
body
from
oak
hills
or
from
from
oak
hills
to
west
view,
and
only
5
or
13
kids,
which
is
represented
by
this
chart
to
sunset.
F
G
Okay,
thank
you
for
your
time
to
listen
tonight
and
thank
you
to
the
committee
for
their
time
and
dedication
throughout
this
process.
I
am
pleased
that
the
recommended
map
maintains
the
current
middle
school
feeder
pattern
for
cooper
mountain
when
considering
their
votes.
I
appreciate
that
the
committee
focused
on
the
given
objectives
for
this
process
and
recognized
that
changes
to
cooper
mountain
do
not
support
these
goals.
I
am
hopeful
that
the
final
decision
for
boundary
adjustments
continues
to
focus
on
the
specified
objectives.
G
This
has
been
a
long
and
arduous
process
with
challenging
decisions
to
be
made.
These
decisions
are
even
more
difficult,
given
our
unprecedented
situation
and
times
of
uncertainty
and
ongoing
change.
Now,
more
than
ever,
our
students
need
consistency
and
support
for
their
educational
success,
health
and
emotional
well-being.
Thank
you
for
considering
what
is
best
for
all
students
and
for
not
making
unnecessary
changes.
G
I
have
listened
to
the
committee's
discussions
regarding
free
and
reduced
lunch
and
appreciate
their
concerns
around
the
unbalanced
socioeconomics
across
the
district.
However,
balancing
free
and
reduced
lunch
was
not
a
given
objective
for
this
process
and
was
not
used
consistently
to
make
boundary
recommendations
an
equitable
process
to
balance
free
and
reduced.
Lunch
requires
review
and
consideration
of
every
school
in
the
district
and
cannot
adequately
be
completed
by
solely
changing
middle
school
boundaries.
G
Additionally,
please
consider
allowing
next
year's
seventh
graders
to
be
included
in
the
legacy
program.
Current
sixth
grade
students
missed
out
so
much
to
close
out
their
elementary
school
years.
The
transition
to
middle
school
is
significant
and,
while
they're
not
currently
in
the
buildings,
they
are
establishing
relationships
with
other
students,
teachers
and
staff
and
they've
been
welcomed
to
the
school
community
when
they
return
to
the
buildings
they
need
consistency.
They
have
to
establish
relationships
with
their
continued
continue
to
establish
relationships
is
so
important
at
this
time
and
age.
G
I
Yep
hi
hi
everyone.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
tonight.
When
I
was
chosen
to
speak,
I
tried
to
write
something
that
was
focused
using
only
logical
points,
while
trying
to
keep
my
emotions
out.
However,
each
time
I
tried
to
write
something
I
started
feeling
emotional
and
I
asked
myself
why
and
I
realized
it's
because
creating
a
timberland
middle
school
community
threatens
to
ruin
ours
at
rock
creek.
I
I
You
will
hear
from
most
of
rock
creek
that,
while
this
is
scary,
uncomfortable
and
was
initially
unfathomable,
we
are
okay,
it's
because
we
be
we
felt
heard
by
the
boundary
committee,
and
we
hope
that
you
will
do
the
same.
Our
kids
play
baseball
soccer,
softball,
ride
bikes
and
play
at
parks
with
kids
from
bethany
and
west
oak
hills.
During
this
now
year-long
process,
you've
heard
rock
creek
ask
over
and
over
again
if
we
get
removed
from
stoller,
don't
hurt
us
more
by
putting
us
by
not
putting
us
with
bethany
and
west
oak
hills.
I
Some
might
argue
that
if
you
send
us
to
five
oaks
without
them
that
we
are
still
among
our
west
view,
peers,
the
westview
kids
at
mckinley
and
almonica
are
basically
strangers
to
us,
because
our
kids
don't
ride
bikes
across
highway
26
through
targets
and
bed
bath
and
beyond,
to
meet
with
them.
So
when
making
decisions
view
rock
creek,
bethany
and
west
view,
feeding
oak
hills,
kids,
please,
as
a
single
unit,
we
really
don't
mind
which
middle
school
we
go
to
just
keep
us
together,
sending
rock
creek
anywhere.
J
J
One
is
stroller,
second,
is
suma,
while
a
stroller's
boundary
was
one
of
the
objectives.
Hence
it
made
sense
to
discuss
it
in
detail,
but
even
then
most
of
the
committee
members,
except
for
few
felt,
both
stroller
and
suma,
was
discussed
more
than
it
was
needed.
But
I
am
also
glad
that
no
one
now
can
say
that
there
was
an
easy
shortcut
or
easy
route
taken
for
the
stroller.
While
what
we
see
today
in
the
recommended
map
for
stroller
is
the
result
of
comprehensive
deliberation.
J
I'm
thankful
to
all
the
committee
members
for
finally
recommending
one
map.
It
was
not
easy,
but
you
all
made
it
possible
if
I
can
use
bsd's
word
itself
for
this
map
from
the
usd
boundary
webpage.
It
says,
and
I
quote,
the
committee's
recommendation
was
reached
it
reached
in
accordance
with
the
objectives
issued
by
school
board
and
factors
included
in
board
policy,
jc
cortens.
J
So
yes,
as
per
the
bst
itself,
this
map
does
meet
the
board
policy.
Jc
and
object
is
as
set
for
this
boundary
process.
I'll
wait
I'll
end
with
making
a
kind
request
to
the
superintendent
that
please
recommend
this
map
to
the
school
board,
for
their
approval
and
in
the
anxiety
and
the
stress
of
all
the
parents
who
are
still
not
sure
after
more
than
a
year
where
they
will
get
go
from
the
next
middle
school
session.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
K
Hello,
my
name
is
josie
jarnigan
and
I
have
a
sixth
grader
at
highland
park
middle
school.
He
attended
cooper
mountain
I'd
like
to
start
by
thanking
the
committee
for
the
incredible
amount
of
time
they
have
dedicated
to
this
challenging
task,
especially
during
the
pandemic,
with
the
current
rise
of
student,
anxiety
and
stress,
keeping
as
many
students
at
their
current
school
is
in
their
best
interest.
The
committee
voted
to
maintain
cooper
mountain
existing
boundaries
and
we
kindly
ask
that
you
uphold
a
no
change
boundary,
which
is
supported
by
the
majority
of
our
community.
L
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
at
this
meeting
as
a
finley
parent,
I
have
been
following
the
middle
school
boundary
change
process
from
its
first
meeting.
First,
I
would
like
to
thank
each
member
of
the
advisory
committee
who
spent
their
valuable
time
to
align
on
the
new
middle
school
boundary
map.
Having
said
that,
I
would
like
to
highlight
certain
points.
L
First
off,
thank
you
for
keeping
findlay
unsplit
in
this
boundary
change
process.
My
sincere
request
to
bsd
is
to
also
ensure
that
findlay
summer
kids
can
attend
their
classes
in
timberland,
along
with
with
their
non-suma
counterparts.
That's
because
about
30
to
40
percent
of
indicates
attend
the
summer
program
in
middle
school,
which
is
like
like
the
highest
percentage
of
from
a
school
in
bsd,
or
else
we
are
effectively
splitting
the
findi
class,
much
to
the
detriment
of
its
students.
L
Second,
I
would
also
urge
bst
to
con
consider
moving
the
entire
sunset
growing
suma
population
to
timberland
from
stroller.
This
will
ensure
three
things
a
it
make.
It
will
provide
a
clean
feeder
pattern
from
middle
school
to
high
school
for
all
resident
timberland,
kids.
Second,
it
will
resolve
the
overcrowding
problem
at
stroller
and
meet
its
board
of
objective
of
90
percent
population.
L
Third,
it
will
ensure
that
there
is
no
use
of
portables
at
stroller
beyond
2021
and
and
it
will
meet
the
boardwalk's
goal.
If
portables
are
used
for
summer
students
at
stroller,
it
will
be
perceived
as
justice
denied
for
finlay
and
rock
creek.
Two
of
the
oldest
neighborhood
schools
at
stroller
were
now
moved
out
of
stroller
to
make
room
for
others,
so
I
respectfully
urge
the
school
district
to
do
the
right
thing
and
finalize
a
map
that
serves
all
schools
and
provides
excellent
quality
education
to
all
future
students.
Thank
you.
M
Okay,
hello
and
thank
you
for
the
chance
to
speak
tonight,
I'm
a
sato
parent,
it's
clear
for
this
entire
process
and
all
the
committee's
thoughts
and
the
public
testimonies
that
this
map
isn't
perfect.
Ideally,
the
district
would
take
this
opportunity
to
redraw
boundaries
at
all
levels
district-wide,
but
unfortunately
that
is
not
happening.
I
believe
the
committee
was
able
to
come
up
with
a
solid
map
that
addresses
the
major
issues.
M
Despite
these
less
than
ideal
parameters,
the
overcrowding
at
stoller
will
be
reduced,
timberland
will
be
filled
and
the
district
as
a
whole
is
not
being
disrupted
more
than
necessary.
I
understand
the
committee's
disappointment
when
demographics
are
considered,
but
short
of
moving
finley
to
meadow
park
to
help
even
out
socioeconomic
disparity,
there's
not
much
more.
That
can
be
done
with
the
current
elementary
boundaries,
without
disrupting
more
students
and
resulting
in
numerous
school
splits.
M
I
believe
the
priorities
in
this
map
are
the
right
ones:
to
avoid
splitting
schools
balance
demographics
as
much
as
possible,
make
reasonable
transportation
decisions
and
focus
on
walkability
walkability
is
especially
important
for
lower
income
areas.
As
an
example,
a
sizable
number
of
lower
income
students
reside
in
the
lower
half
of
sato
and
are
able
to
walk
to
stoller.
I
believe
the
committee
is
right
to
keep
this
area
at
stoller.
M
Students
here
are
at
increased
risk
of
having
their
attendance
affected
by
their
socioeconomic
status
if
they
are
moved
to
a
school
where
they
need
to
catch
a
bus
versus
one
that
is
within
walking
distance.
The
district
should
prioritize
the
stability
and
equity
to
areas
such
as
these,
as
I've
stated
previously.
In
testimony,
we
can't
let
the
that
we
can't
let
perfect
be
the
enemy
of
good,
or
at
least
decent.
This
map
isn't
perfect,
but
no
map
will
be
without
redrawing
boundaries.
M
N
N
They
have
been
working
tirelessly
for
many
many
months,
and
I
appreciate
how
much
effort
has
gone
into
the
thinking
behind
this
final
recommendation.
I
am
the
parent
of
two
boys
at
cooper,
mountain
and
highland
park,
and
it's
times
like
these
that
provide
the
greatest
perspective
for
what
is
important
right
now
for
our
kids.
N
They
are
afraid,
based
on
what
they
see
on
the
news
or
the
internet,
whether
it's
covid
cases
or
racial
injustice,
civil
unrest
or
political
tension.
They
are
worried
about
their
families,
losing
jobs
and
what
the
future
might
look
like
for
their
family
they've
just
been
exposed
to
too
much
this
year,
and
with
that
in
mind,
I
would
really
like
to
share
my
appreciation
for
the
committee's
recommendation
to
just
maintain
some
consistency
for
our
school.
N
P
P
I
do
agree
with
rowan
as
well
that
anything
beyond
that
is
an
insult
to
rock
creek.
I
think
we
got
the
biggest
burden
from
any
schools
going
to
rock
creek
when
compared
to
the
rest
of
the
schools
that
are
either
staying
at
stoller
or
going
to
timberland
so
timberland.
The
finley
going
to
timberland
is
mixed
with
other
nine
rated
schools
which
will
be
another
super
school
and
then
the
other
school
staying
at
stoller
is
staying
at
the
super
school.
So
rock
creek
among
all
the
schools
at
solar
got
already
the
worst
deal.
P
So
please
do
not
make
it
any
worse.
That's
number
one
number
two.
I
also
recommend
that
the
north,
the
boundary
north
of
west
union
for
rock
creek,
should
go
to
solar,
along
with
springville,
I'm
separated
by
springville
apartments
by
a
fans.
So
I
think
from
a
boundary
process,
it
makes
sense
that
the
west
union,
the
north
part
of
west
union,
goes
to
stoler
as
well,
just
from
a
boundary
process,
so
you're
not
using
a
fence
to
define
a
boundary
but
a
main
road.
P
The
other
thing
is
suma,
I
think
so
much
should
not
go
to
timberland
or
stoller.
I
think
those
are
already
super
schools
made
of
several
all
nine
elementary
schools,
so
I
don't
want
any
more
concentration
on
super
schools,
because
I
think
that's
going
to
make
it
really
hard
for
high
school,
because
these
kids
are
going
to
the
same
high
school
and
they're
going
to
have
a
difficult
time
keeping
up.
So
I
think
we
need
to
minimize
that
and
send
suma
anywhere
else
beside
timberland
and
stoller.
P
Q
Q
Q
A
R
R
Of
cooper,
mountain
families,
in
saying
that
we
support
this
final
map
and
are
grateful
that,
during
this
global
pandemic,
unnecessary
changes
in
the
southern
portion
of
the
district
will
not
inflict
further
torment
onto
the
students
who
have
had
their
lives
turned
upside
down
already.
Please
approve
the
map,
as
is
and
end
any
uncertainty
for
our
current
students.
Thank
you
very
much.
T
T
We've
been
asked
to
sacrifice
a
lot
by
moving
to
a
middle
school
on
the
other
side
of
the
freeway
through
traffic
outside
of
the
area
where
we
live.
We've
reluctantly
accepted
this,
since
the
committee
has
shown
that
they
will
keep
us
with
bethany
and
west
oak
hills,
the
other
two
schools
in
the
bethany
area
that
are
not
zoning
to
either
timberland
or
stoller.
However,
I've
heard
enough
from
the
committee
to
conclude
that
there's
still
reluctance
about
meadow
park
and
five
oaks.
T
As
far
as
composition,
we've
been
provided
with
the
example
of
west
tv,
a
school
that
has
been
ripped
out
of
its
community
to
attend
a
high
school
and
now
a
middle
school
across
the
freeway
and
without
any
neighbors,
even
though
there
are
closer
options,
if
any
change
to
the
current
plan
is
made,
please
always
keep
rock
creek
with
at
least
one
of
its
northern
neighbors.
The
community
south
of
the
freeway
and
shopping
center
is
not
part
of
our
neighborhood.
T
I
do
not
agree
with
doing
a
boundary
change
during
this
economic
and
health
catastrophe,
especially
when
there
are
indications
that
we
may
close
middle
school
in
the
near
future.
I
heard
our
school
board
discuss
the
shortfall
and
attendance
gap
just
this
week
at
the
board
meeting.
These
families
have
been
impacted
so
much
already.
A
boundary
change
should
not
be
done
if
you're,
unsure
of
the
data
or,
if
you
have
any
plan
on
doing
a
boundary
change
again
in
the
next
half
dozen
years
or
so.
T
U
Okay,
thank
you
for
everything.
I've
been
on
committees,
myself,
I'm
a
teacher,
and
I
know
that
these
things
sometimes
meander
and
go
to
many
places
and
take
lots
of
time.
That
is
often
unpaid
and
unthanked,
if
not
always
unpaid,
and
I
do
appreciate
it-
I'm
a
parent
of
cooper,
mountain
kid
and
as
well
as
a
child
who's
now
currently
in
highland-
and
I
also,
as
many
others
have
said,
want
to
ask
that
the
superintendent
follows
the
recommendation
of
the
committee.
I
do
want
to
say
that
the
process
was
very
surprising.
U
U
There
are
many
different
factors
that
go
into
an
equity
approach
and
focusing
on
one
small
thing
can
lead
to
many
different
mistakes.
Just
for
example,
there's
a
huge
community
here,
including
my
wife
and
my
kids,
who
are
part
of
the
japanese
community
in
cooper
mountain
which
is
unique
to
this
area,
and
we've
built
huge
relationships
with
highland
for
years
and
we're
now
working
in
mountainside,
of
course,
which
is
basically
a
brand
new
high
school.
For
us.
U
This
took
a
long
time
to
establish
to
create
a
community
where
people
felt
safe
and
welcome,
and
it
was
difficult
to
get
that
through
when
you're
just
looking
at
one
specific
demographic
feature
and
because
of
the
fact
that
we
have
such
a
diverse
community,
I
hope
that
the
communities
can
be
respected.
Listen
to,
and
I
do
appreciate
the
fact
that
the
process
was
able
to
do
that
and
please
keep
cooper
mountain
as
it
currently
is,
and
we
hope
that
you'll
agree
with
the
committee's
recommendation.
Thank
you.
V
Hi
everyone:
the
committee
received
an
incredibly
difficult
problem
to
solve,
since
they
were
working
within
existing
elementary
and
high
school
boundaries.
Their
number
one
priority
in
policy
jc
was
setting
an
attendance
boundary
for
the
timberland
middle
school
and
I
want
to
commend
them
for
their
work,
because
I
think
they
did
it
very
well
and
very
thoughtfully.
V
My
child
attends
tara
linda
and
we
live
in
the
cedar
mill
neighborhood,
it's
an
extremely
tight-knit
community
that
also
includes
bonnie
slope
and
cedar
mill
schools.
These
children
play
sports
together,
participate
in
scouts,
take
dance.
We
live
streets
and,
in
many
cases,
houses
away
from
these
other
elementary
school
boundaries.
V
V
The
number
one
policy
in
our
priority
in
policy
jc
was
to
fill
timberland,
and
the
committee
did
that
with
schools
that
will
continue
on
to
the
high
school
together,
no
splits.
They
created
a
wonderful
example
of
how
the
progression
of
student
life
should
flow.
Superintendent
grotting,
please
take
the
timberland
boundary
as
it's
recommended
to
you
in
the
map.
V
V
W
W
I
want
to
appreciate
the
community
for
keeping
findlay
on
split
in
the
recommendation.
This
I
believe,
aligns
with
hundreds
of
requests
and
comments
from
the
findlay
community
the
past
year.
Also
keeping
springville
and
unsplit
makes
us
happy.
The
recommendation
makes
timberland
a
true
sunset.
High
feeding
school,
so
consolidating
sunset,
suma
in
timberland,
makes
sense
numbers
and
projections
support
this
as
well.
W
I
strongly
request
bsd
and
tld
to
have
the
suma
program
in
timberland.
Also,
I
request
the
bsd
and
the
committee
to
stand
by
the
no
portable
decision
made
on
march
12th.
Meeting
portable
usage
for
unforeseen
situations
makes
sense,
but
if
portables
are
still
to
be
used
at
stoller
to
accommodate
the
the
general
student
body
within
the
boundary,
findlay
or
rock
creek
might
as
well
stay
installer
continuing
to
use
portables
installer
even
for
sumo
reasons,
makes
the
year-long
boundary
change.
Effort
go
in
vain.
W
I
want
to
add
that
majority
committee
agreed
to
move
some
out
of
stroller
to
meet
the
board
objectives
at
least
three
times
the
past
year
and
moving
some
out
of
stoller
is
not
a
new
idea.
It
was,
I
guess,
I
think
it
was
proposed
back
in
2015,
so
I
request
the
committee
and
bsd
to
come
up
with
a
safe
and
sustainable
solution
from
the
recommendation
recommended
map
that
we
have
now.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
X
X
However,
earlier
this
year
a
minority
member,
a
minority
of
members
of
the
committee,
started
to
advocate
for
a
change
in
the
south
that
did
not
align
to
the
overall
objectives
of
the
committee.
It
was
at
that
point
cooper.
Mountain
families
became
more
deeply
involved
with
the
process
after
several
meetings,
numerous
public
testimony
and
comments-
the
boundary
committee
realized
the
tremendous
cost
to
our
community
was
not
worth
the
minor,
perceived
benefits
and
decided
against
moving
cooper,
mountain's
feeder
patterns.
X
I
do
thank
you
for
allowing
the
community
to
be
involved
in
these
decisions,
and
I
support
the
current
recommendation
of
the
committee
overall.
This
was
a
painful
process
for
the
families
in
the
district
and
often
pitted
neighborhoods
against
neighborhoods.
I
do
sincerely
hope
going
forward
that
these
decisions
are
not
revisited
for
several
years.
Thank
you.
H
Hi
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight,
my
family
is
part
of
the
oak
hills
elementary
school
community.
We
live
west
of
bethany
boulevard
and
feed
to
westfield
high
school
as
northwest
community.
We
support
where
our
elementary
school
is
placed
on
the
committee
submitted
map.
Our
school
is
split
between
two
middle
schools
on
the
map,
but
it
allows
all
our
students
to
go
to
middle
school
with
their
future
high
school
peers.
Four
years
ago,
when
the
high
school
boundaries
were
adjusted,
oak
hills
was
split
between
westview
and
sunset
high
schools.
H
However,
only
a
small
portion
of
our
student
body
actually
lives
in
the
sunset
feeding
area.
There
aren't
many
other
sunset
feeding
students
at
meadow
park,
and
so
these
students
have
hardly
known
anyone
upon
entering
sunset
high
school,
and
this
has
been
a
rough
experience
for
many
of
them
and
their
families.
We
want
a
better
experience
for
all
the
students
from
our
school.
Moreover,
our
oak
hills
community
agrees
that,
given
the
high
school
division
separation
after
elementary
school
is
best,
so
there
are
clear,
high
school
feeders
for
our
students.
This
is
the
reason
we
support.
H
The
placement
of
both
sides,
though,
kills
on
the
committee
submitted
map.
The
map
has
sunset
bound
oak
hills,
e
students
attending
timberland,
with
tara
lindell
elementary
carolina
students
are
their
community
neighbors
and
they'll
go
on
to
sunset.
Together,
the
map
has
west
view
bound
oak
hills,
west
students
attending
five
oaks
with
bethany
elementary
bethany.
Elementary
students
live
in
the
same
neighborhood
as
oak
hills,
west
they
are
our
community
neighbors
and
they
will
go
on
to
attend
rescue
together.
H
As
you
review
the
map
presented
to
you
by
the
committee
and
prepared
to
make
a
final
decision,
please
keep
these
community
and
high
school
feeding
groups
together.
Our
community
wants
to
make
sure
you
know
that,
even
though
elementary
schools
are
usually
kept
together
as
they
feed
middle
school,
we
support
having
our
elementary
school
students
feed
to
two
different
middle
schools,
so
they
can
be
with
those
that
will
feed
to
high
school
with
them.
Please
do
not
use
oak
hills
as
a
puzzle.
H
S
Thank
you,
shelly
to
start
with
I'd
like
to
thank
beaverton
school
district
superintendent
groting,
mr
sparks
who's,
been
there
throughout
the
process,
as
well
as
the
other
key
members
of
bsd
for
facilitating
this,
and
I
also
wanted
to
thank
the
committee
members.
You
know
it's
been
a
long
and
hard
process,
so
many
thanks
to
them.
S
So
when
we
started
about
a
year
back,
it
was
a
different
world
we
all
lived
in
and,
as
we
know,
things
have
changed
drastically
with
coved
and
then
with
all
the
social
injustice
causes
what's
been
happening,
and
then
the
wildfires
impacted
us.
So
one
thing
I
wanted
to
call
out
is
to
add
to
all
that
social
like
overall
stress,
which
is
there
in
everybody's
environment
right
now,
right,
every
family
is
going
through
this.
The
school
boundary
adjustment
process
has
definitely
added
on
to
the
stress
and-
and
I
kind
of
echo,
to
what
others
said.
S
It's
been
pretty
stressful,
so
from
springville
parents
perspective.
I
believe
this
map
is
the
best
map
which
has
been
put
out
there
and
we
as
a
group
as
a
sprinkle
parents,
completely
support
this.
We
are
from
north
bethany
and
our
closest
neighbors
are
satou
and
jacob
vismer,
and
it
makes
perfect
sense
for
springville
to
continue
to
stay
with
our
neighborhood
communities
and
then
move
to
the
staller
middle
school,
and
it
also
keeps
the
feeder
pattern
good
because
from
elementary
to
middle
to
high
school,
we
are
all
together.

Good
evening,
I'm
a
parent
of
finley
elementary
who
does
not
support
splitting
of
finlay.
I'm
thankful
to
bst
for
providing
me
the
opportunity
to
share
my
concerns
and
views
twice
in
front
of
the
committee
for
prior
votes
by
the
committee
members
between
january
to
march
2020
below
were
the
key
unanimous
agreements
made
by
the
committee
with
respect
to
findlay
number
one.
Everyone
agreed
not
to
split
finley
and
move
the
entire
finlay
to
timberland
and
number
two.
The
committee
agreed
three
times
to
remove
suma
program
from
stoller.
Keeping
in
line
with
the
aforementioned
agreement.
Y
Below
are
my
request.
Almost
majority
of
finlay
parents
wanted
finlay
as
unsplit,
because
moving
the
entire
finlay
to
timberland
would
address
the
stoller
overcrowding
issue
number
two.
There
were
a
few
walking
finley
parents
who
just
stayed
beside
stoller
wanted
their
kids
to
walk
to
stoller.
I
don't
know
if
it
is
possible.
I
leave
it
to
bsd's
discretion
to
address
that.
Y
If
entire
findlay
moves
to
timberland
and
sunset
bound
supermarkets
also
move
to
timberland,
then
both
the
proximity
and
capacity
issue
with
respect
to
timberland
will
be
addressed
efficiently
and,
most
importantly,
the
overcrowding
issue
of
stroller
will
be
resolved
in
the
long
term.
Every
committee
member
and
bst
agreed
unanimously
that
portables
should
not
be
used
for
any
options
program.
As
a
parent
who
has
volunteered
in
class
events
inside
portables,
I
personally
respect
both
the
kids
and
teachers
who
manage
there
in
a
country
which
has
the
capacity,
talent
and
skill
to
provide
world-class
education.
Y
I
would
request
bsd
to
work
towards
ending
the
usage
of
portables
at
the
earliest.
We
hope
that
the
final
decision
made
by
you
will
address
the
key
factors
optimally
and
will
be
at
the
best
interest
of
all
the
kids
in
the
district
as
adults,
we
hope
to
work
towards
providing
an
education
system
in
the
post-covet
world.
That
would
not
only
empower
kids
but
would
make
them
more,
mature
and
empathetic
towards
respecting
the
differences
and,
at
the
same
time,
embracing
the
similarity
collectively.
Thank
you
thank.
Z
Okay,
thanks
hi,
my
name
is
andrew
mullen
and
I'm
a
have
two
children
that
attend
highland
park
middle
school,
which
previously
attended
cooper,
mountain
elementary
I've
been
engaged
in
attending
the
middle
school
boundary
advisory
committee
meeting
since
the
very
beginning,
and
now,
as
we
reach
the
conclusion
of
this
process,
I'd
like
to
express
my
appreciation
to
the
committee
and
the
bsd
support
staff
for
their
dedication
to
this
extended
process.
Specifically,
I'd
like
to
support
the
committee's
recommendation
to
maintaining
the
existing
feeder
patterns
for
cooper
mountain
the
highland
park
to
mountainside
high
school.
Z
Maintaining
this
feeder
pattern
supports
the
objectives
provided
by
the
school
board
to
the
committee.
Our
community
has
been
very
supportive
of
this
recommendation
and
has
submitted
significant
number
of
written
and
verbal
comments
for
your
consideration
of
the
validity
of
maintaining
these
current
feeder
patterns.
Z
In
this
time
of
unprecedented
change,
I
agree
with
the
committee's
recommendations
that
limit
any
changes
to
areas
where
they
needed
only
to
set
it
or
to
satisfy
the
objectives.
This
approach
will
allow
schools
and
communities
to
maintain
some
level
of
normalcy
during
these
difficult
times
where
it
is
possible.
Z
Lastly,
with
regards
to
legacy
students,
I'd
like
the
district
to
consider
allowing
current
middle
school
students
to
attend
their
existing
middle
schools
for
all
three
years
if
they
choose
based
on
my
experience,
children's
do
develop
relationships
and
connections
with
the
school,
their
teachers
and
the
other
kids.
Even
though
they're
in
the
challenges
of
distant
learning
and
online
classes,
these
bonds
will
then
help
them
navigate
the
eventual
return
to
in-person
learning
when
that
day
does
come.
Thank
you
again
for
your
time
and
your
consideration
of
these
comments.
AA
Hi
thanks
for
letting
me
speak
today,
I
just
want
to
voice
my
approval
of
the
map.
The
committee
has
sent
for
your
final
recommendation
and
review
from
the
public
comments
that
have
been
posted
over
the
last
year.
It's
clear
that
this
final
map
has
community-wide
support
and
has
the
best
interest
of
all
our
students
at
heart.
AA
To
quote
one
of
the
committee
members
from
the
last
meeting.
I
do
believe
it
is
the
best
we
can
do.
It
meets
the
objectives
and
adheres
to
the
jc
policy.
I
am
so
grateful
that
the
committee
repeatedly
chose
to
keep
status
quo
for
cooper
mountain
to
help
the
students
preserve
their
ties
to
the
community
and
give
them
security
during
this
pandemic
and
just,
as
importantly,
maintain
community
ties,
security
and
walkability
for
the
shahelam
students
and
save
50
000
in
annual
transportation
costs.
AA
With
the
student
success
act
in
budget
in
peril,
we
can't
afford
to
spend
unnecessary
funds
on
transportation,
so
I
am
glad
they
made
that
choice.
My
son
for
one
has
been
looking
forward
to
attending
the
same
middle
school
as
his
longtime
friends
from
his
extracurricular
activities,
and
I'm
happy
that
you'll
get
to
do
so.
Assuming
you
approve
the
math,
as
is.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
B
Yes,
thank
you
shelly,
and
thank
you
all
once
again.
I
believe
this
testimony.
I
do
not
believe
I've
ever
had
testimony
so
timely,
concise
you
folks.
It
was
evident
that
you
had
practice
because
you
had
it
right
down
to
the
second
and
I
and
I
applaud
your
efforts,
but
I
also
applaud
your
efforts
for
your
constructive
criticism.
C
B
Thank
you
steve.
The
only
thing
I
would
add
is
you're.
Always
as
any
community
members
are
is
you
can
provide
a
written
testimony
to
our
school
board
when
that
goes
out.
We
are
in
this
time
of
virtual
communication,
all
of
the
communications
that
come
into
our
school
board.
They
go
to
the
school
board
and
that
communication
is
read
so
whether
you
have
some
concerns
about
this
boundary
process
and
or
support
of
this
boundary
process
would
encourage
you
to
send
it
to
the
school
board
and
those
will
go
in
as
public
testimony.
B
So
once
again,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
this
evening.
I
I
and
I
do
hope
all
of
your
children
and
your
families
and
extended
families
are
safe
during
these
unprecedented
times
of
a
health
pandemic,
some
of
the
social
injustice
that
we
are
experiencing
and
for
many
of
our
families,
the
economic,
the
poverty
that
some
of
our
families
are
experiencing,
but
thank
you
for
your
participation.
C
Before
we
go
or
adjourn
here,
I
would
like
to
remind
everybody
that
we
were
and
are
recording
this
testimony
this
evening
and
we
will
be
posting
it
on
our
webpage
and
our
youtube
channel
in
the
near
future.
So
tell
your
friends:
tell
your
family
and
you'll
be
able
to
show
how
you
kept
to
the
two
minutes
and
told
everybody
you.
A
A
Thank
you
don.
Thank
you
steve.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
their
comments.
As
mentioned,
the
superintendent
has
received
the
committee
reports,
along
with
your
public
comment
and
comments
in
writing.
He'll
be
weighing
all
that
information
and
delivering
a
recommendation
and
the
board
meeting
on
november
30th.
So
for
now
this
meeting
is
adjourned
and
thank
you
for
joining
us.
