That would be a BOUNDARY meeting, not a zoning meeting. The district will be re-distributing student populations to try to equalize school populations and keep a static student body in one place at each school.
"Sometimes on purpose and sometimes by accident, teachers' unions have a long history of working against the interests of children in the name of job security for adults. And Democrats in particular have a history of facilitating this obstructionism in exchange for campaign donations and votes." . . .Amanda Ripley re "Waiting for Superman" movie.

Has anyone heard the rumors that the school district is considering not opening Prairie Oaks to save money? The rumor seems to be making its way around the elementary schools. I guess that's one thing the oversight committee could not control. They made sure the bond was spent on the school, but not that it might open? I would suspect that if the board tried this, there would be two outcomes: 1) a few recall petitions might be started by Folsom voters who paid for an empty elementary school and 2) another bond would never get passed again. Anyone heard anything. I'll be at the meeting on Wed to hear.

I attended the meeting last night. As is usual with the rumor mill...the rumors are untrue. The, as yet to be named, Prairie Oaks school should be completed in May and will open it's doors in August for the 2003/2004 school year. The new boundary lines (which should be approved early next month) include the following neighborhoods...Prairie Oaks, Los cerros, Willow Springs and the following apartment complexes...Iron Point, Willow Springs and the Overlook. Registration packets will go home with students in March. If you have a new student (i.e. a kindergartener or a student transfering from a private school) then you will need to go to Natomas Station Elementary on March 20th and register your child for the new Prairie Oaks school. If you are not happy with the "home" school in your neighborhood you will need to fill out a "choice" application for the school of your choosing and retun it with your childs registration information. The best efforts will be made to accomondate (sp?) your child at the school of your "choice". I hope this information helps. I will let you know if anything changes.

That is right. You had just heard a rumor. To many of those going around.
I talked to the newest city council member last night and he said the school will open as scheduled.
