Boundary Process Begins

Calling All Mills Parents...

AISD is preparing to redraw elementary school boundaries, to accommodate the opening of the new southwest elementary school next Fall. Mills will be included in this boundary process. At Mills, Mrs. Butler, along with members of the Campus Advisory Council, believe it's essential to meet and determine the our community's priorities for this upcoming process.

To do that, we're holding a Boundary Information Meeting on Monday, September 21 at 6:30pm in the Mills cafeteria.

Why should you come to the meeting?

First, you'll find out about the overcrowding problem at Mills. You may not know, but we are the largest elementary school in the entire district with 1080 students. And there are consequences to being that large.

Plus, your opinion will be heard! We've prepared a survey to find out what values you want to see reflected in the boundary proposals. For example, do you value being able to walk to school? Do you value a phase-in plan that would allow existing students to continue going to Mills? Do you want to preserve existing tracking from elementary to middle and high school?

We will use this feedback to evaluate proposals from the District, so it's very important that you attend this meeting.

We're using this blog to begin a dialogue with parents, so check back often for updates.
