Attendance Boundary Committee (ABC)
What is the ABC?
The School Board Policy states the ABC "is a citizens
advisory committee established to assist District staff
in working with the community to develop
recommendations for establishment of adjustments to
attendance boundaries that accommodate the
opening of new schools, to ensure optimal facility
utilization, and/or accommodate space needs for
program changes."
What does the ABC do?
The policy states the ABC, "utilized the attendance-
zone criteria in Policy 5.01 (1) & (2). "Student
Assignment" in making boundary recommendations to
the Superintendent, who in turn makes final
recommendations to the School Board under policy
5.01 (4). The board has final authority in the
establishment of boundaries."
Who is on the ABC?
The ABC is comprised of 19 voting members from
various community groups. The County Council of
PTA/PTSA is asked to appoint one (1) representative
to the board. The school board policy states that the
representative is "appointed to serve throughout a
period of time in which attendance zone changes are
considered, recommended, and adopted for the next
or subsequent school year (boundary cycle)." This
means that the representative is appointed for a time
period that crosses school years.
What is the responsibility of the representative?
The representative to this committee shall present
matters of concern from the perspective of the County
Council of PTA/PTSAa and be able to "maintain a
global view of the District, its students, and the issues
and policies impacting and guiding the setting of
school attendance boundaries" as stated in the school
board policy.
When does the ABC meet?
The committee usually meets the 1st and 3rd
Thursday evening from April and into June. In the fall
the committee members are asked to attend the
community forums. Representatives are asked to
stay on the committee until the school board
establishes boundaries for the cycle-usually the
following February.
