Redrawing of School Boundaries?! It may affect you.
To Concerned Residents of Wilburton Area:
As you may already know, Bellevue School District is developing a district-wide school assignment recommendation for the Superintendent to be implemented in 2013-14. This redrawing of school boundaries may affect our community negatively.
Currently, Chinook Middle School and Bellevue
High School are serving our area as the middle and high school
respectively. In a report published by the Bellevue School District,
Chinook Middle School was deemed to be too crowded. There is a chance
that the school district may change the schools serving our area from Chinook
Middle School to Odle Middle School and from Bellevue High School to Sammamish
High School. Based on the OSPI report cards, Chinook Middle School and
Bellevue High School are much better schools than Odle Middle School and
Sammamish High School. We want our neighborhood children to get the best
education possible and so we need to let the Bellevue School District know that
we want Chinook Middle and Bellevue High to remain as our neighborhood schools.
Further, good schools propagate strong house values.
The school district is selecting members for the Boundary Review Committee at this time (see the link below; applications are due by 4:00 pm March 16, 2012). The members of the committee will consist of the principal and/or assistant principal and two parents from each school in the district with geographic boundaries. We urge you to let them know that we want the current middle and high schools to remain as our neighborhood schools. Please participate actively and voice your opinions to the committee at boundary@bsd405.org.
