Beaverton Superintendent Supports Boundary Plan

Beaverton Schools Superintendent Jeff Rose will recommend the school board adopt new boundary lines drawn by a committee after months of work.

"I absolutely feel comfortable," endorsing the plan," he told the Oregonian.

The changes are necessary because the population of Beaverton has been growing faster than expected. Two of the high schools are expected to be near 100 percent capacity in the next few years.

As a result, the district is building a new high school south of Cooper Mountain and the boundaries are changing.

The committee did not make any changes to the proposal they had released two weeks earlier.

• Sexton Mountain Elementary into the area covered by the new high school;
• Montclair Elementary into the area of Southridge High School;
• Oak Hills Elementary students would go to Sunset High School; and
• Beaverton High School would get kids from Raleigh Hills.

The changes go into effect during the 2017-2018 school year.
