Pickerington Area Taxpayers Alliance

From reading the local papers, it seems the school board is considering redrawing boundaries. Can't they think of more productive things to do? Why wouldn't they eliminate the open enrollment and require students to attend the school which the current boundaries require them to go?

How many students are living in Central's boundaries, but have opted to attend North? And vice versa? Who has the numbers?

Are the current boundaries causing the ''have and have not'' attitude or is the optional open enrollment policy? Why were the boundaries drawn only to give each student an open enrollment option? Why is this option never mentioned?

What's going on?

Open Enrollment Numbers

Having just asked this - I actually do have the numbers for this fall - they are much smaller than I thought they might be.

These numbers are as of 9/17/04:

11 students total from Ridgeview are enrolled at Lakeview ?– 2 are 7th graders & 9 are 8th graders

31 students total from Central are enrolled at North ?– 6 are 9th grade, 6 are 10th grade, 11 are 11th grade & 8 are seniors

4 students total from Lakeview are enrolled at Ridgeview ?– 1 is in 7th grade & 3 are in 8th grade

13 students total from North are enrolled at Central ?– 1 is in 9th grade, 2 are in 10th grade, 6 are in 11th grade & 4 are seniors

The net effect is 25 students from the Central area at North and Lakeview.

This total does not include those students who are assigned to the ?“other?” building because of:

Vocation programs
Single Building Programs ?– ie Marketing only offered at North, Tech Prep only offered at Central
Special Education programs
