Episode 084: Redistricting Committee Recap and Next Steps
Student enrollment in Avon Schools has grown as the Town of Avon and Washington Township have grown. Demographic studies tell us we can expect enrollment to grow by at least 500 more students in the next decade.
Over the last two years, students, parents/caregivers, employees, and community members have helped district leaders adopt a plan that will enable us to make room for more students. To make this plan a reality, it is necessary to redistrict our schools that serve students in kindergarten through 8th-grade for the start of the 2025-26 school year. Parent and staff input has continued to guide this process. This fall, a 100-member redistricting committee comprised of parents/caregivers, school employees, and district leaders has selected school boundary models and school start- and end-times scenarios. They're ready for community input and, ultimately, to make a recommendation to the Avon Board of School Trustees.
Dr. Wyndham is joined by Assistant Superintendents Dr. Michael Sullivan and Carrie Alday to talk about the highlights and takeaways from the project. They share about the committee members' investments in the process, surprising lessons learned along the way, and why it was so helpful to hear from so many diverse perspectives. Stick around to hear from several committee members. You won't want to miss their takeaways from the process.
