According to CPS spokesperson Michelle Baumstark, the district works hand and hand with Cooperative Strategies, a company that specializes in redistricting.
Right now, the focus is on Parkade Elementary. The vote has been postponed two times due to the pandemic.Â
"Tonightâs vote is only about Phase 1 â provided relief for Parkade Elementary School which is overcapacity. The change to Parkadeâs attendance area would go into effect this coming school year," Baumstark said. "The overcapacity that you're seeing at Parkade Elementary School affects between 80 and 100 families and that particular change will go into effect for this fall."
The board will also listen to recommendations and look at guiding principles for all other attendance areas. There are four possible scenarios, and each brings its own changes to the current zoning.
