Council Rock Redistricting Forum Is Thursday

A community forum for the public to learn more about a proposed redistricting plan for the Council Rock School District will be held Thursday starting at 7 p.m.

The forum will be held at Council Rock High School South starting at 7 p.m. It will include a formal presentation by administrators on the proposed redistricting plan. On Tuesday, the district released a map of the proposed changes. That can be found here.

According to information on the district website, a vote on the redistricting maps could come as early as Jan. 25 — providing the public with two weeks to review the proposal and offer feedback. "Board action regarding the Committee's proposed redistricting plan will tentatively occur at a Special Board meeting scheduled for January 25," the website says.

If the map is passed as proposed, there will be broad changes across the district, including the relocation of about 10 percent of elementary students.

The maps, which shift students from several schools, were prepared by the district Redistricting Committee. The committee was made up of two parent representatives from each building, three building administrators, and five central office administrators. According to the district, the committee studied enrollment projections, reviewed community feedback, examined housing information and analyzed building capacity.
