Boundary Proposal Rationale: To address overcrowding at some schools while more effectively using other school facilities that are under capacity. Some attendance boundaries also may need adjustments due to a new school opening in the area, as well as new construction of homes and/or multi-family living areas. *All 2018-19 sixth-grade students will be able to remain in their 2017-18 attendance boundary; however, no transportation will be provided. *All students will have the option to move to the 2018-19 boundaries for the 2017-18 school year. Transportation rules apply (over 2.5 miles will be transported, under would need to pay for transportation). These students will not be considered transfer students.

Conclusion The Shawnee Mission School District is committed to providing the best education to meet the needs of and successfully prepare every student in our district for a successful future. The boundary change process was established to: address overcrowding in some school facilities effectively utilize other school facilities that are under capacity support the opening of a new school anticipate enrollment needs in areas of new home construction and/or multi-family living areas In developing this recommendation for boundary adjustments, we engaged parent and community input and gathered feedback via in-person forums, e-mail, and phone communication. We have reviewed initial plans based on feedback provided and adjusted some elements to create this recommendation. We recognize that boundary adjustment discussions are difficult and often emotional for families. We want to assure board members, parents, students, and the community that any changes implemented will include planning to ensure transitions are successful and a priority is placed on building connections and relationships within new school communities. We believe this plan supports our commitment and will allow us to best serve our students.
