Community Feedback
• All three Interim Boundary Options were perceived as
essentially the same option
• Why was only one area considered for redirection and why
were other areas not an option for redirection?
• Move only the students for the new Alton Village School and
keep the St. Christopher and St. Elizabeth Seton School
boundaries as is
• Community requested to see additional school boundary
options involving the school attendance area North of Dryden
Avenue and West of Orchard Road
19
Community Feedback
• Option #1 was selected as the most preferred option
of the three Interim Options
• To respond to the community feedback the SBRC
requested an extension of time from the Board to
complete its mandate
• A second Open House/Community Information
Meeting was scheduled for March 8, 2012 to provide
another opportunity for the community to comment
and submit input

• The focus of this evenings Open House/Community
Information Meeting is to present the school boundary
options for St. Christopher and St. Elizabeth Seton Schools and
to seek additional community comment and input
• The school attendance area boundaries for these existing two
schools would most likely be effective for September 2013
