The Spokane Public School Board has approved new boundaries.
The Spokane Public Schools Board unanimously approved new boundaries during its Wednesday night meeting, the district’s first major boundary change in 40 years.
Spokane Public Schools new boundaries are designed to keep neighborhoods of students, and cohorts of children together during the transition from elementary to middle school to high school.
The board unanimously approved them after several weeks of delay. Some parents were concerned the model would force their families to go to a school geographically farther from their home, and some were concerned the changes were inequitable.
School Board Member Mike Wiser said the committee that developed the new lines considered both issues, and said trying to change the boundaries this late would create more issues.
