Ronald Wilson Reagan Middle School is scheduled to open September 2012 and the school board is scheduled to vote on the boundary plans at their April 18th meeting. There are currently 6 proposals available for your comments and suggestions.
Interested in developing your own proposal for consideration? Here’s an unofficial app that allows you to develop your own plan.

Thanks to Alanna for preparing this nifty app for parents and other interested parties. MH
LOVE the map, that is awesome!
Well, technically, I didn’t do the map. I did the data table, where you can move the students out of one school and into another. The data table keeps a running calcualtion of the number of students, percentage of school capacity, etc… I am though now looking into a map overlay for version 2.
Also, I wanted to give a ‘shout out’ to Lionel White from PWCS for providing me with the data. He has been very helpful.
You still did a great job!
I am impressed.
You are so incredibly talented, Alanna! WOW.
Alanna, great idea. Lately we have seen more interested citizens who have presented us with their own suggested maps, and you can tell that they have really tried hard to come up with something that works. This is a good exercise in that it helps more folks understand the trade-offs involved in drawing boundaries. Please send me a note if you come up with a plan that you think will work – I will take a serious look at it.
Honestly, I don’t have a plan. I just thought it would empower the public to come up with their own plans. I did the boundary committee for Gravely Elementary and recognized that it’s more than difficult to do it by hand. Luckily this time I had the time to put this together.
Probably the boundary committee members would be interested in playing with it. I did send an email to them. I am sure they all think I’m insane and I wouldn’t blame the planning department for privately cursing me. 🙂
I’d like to create the maps to go along with the it. I could probably overlay images to create a final map.
I’ll look at it again next week.
@Alanna, well I am impressed. I couldn’t do that if you held a gun to my head.
