Communication Logistics
• Committee members should have received an invite to the Wiki group page.
• Page is merely a method to communicate between meetings and to answer/discuss issues related to the redistricting between meetings
• Talk with Robin Allen after the meeting if you did not get an invite, to make sure she has your correct contact information.
• Committee can always send emails or call Cropper GIS and/or BCPS with questions or thoughts.
Communication Logistics
• BCPS Central Area webpage is created!:
- Helps to refer inquiring community to this website to answer questions about the rezoning process, schedule and a quantity of data and maps.- Located under “What’s Happening” section of website (www.bcps.org)
• Direct link to page is:http://www.bcps.org/construction/mayschapel/

Redistricting Study Project Goals
1. Baltimore County Public Schools is building a new elementary school on the Mays Chapel site.
a) Opening in Fall 2014b) 700-student capacity
2. Schools throughout the region are overcrowded, and redistricting is necessary to balance building utilization and populate the new school.
3. BCPS has organized a committee-based process to work through redistricting options and plans.
a) Work will continue through Winter 2014

Project Objectives
New school at Mays Chapel Site
Efficient use of available space (i.e. Balance Building Utilization)
Long-range enrollment and capacity needs (i.e. be mindful of future potential population in addition to existing students)
Use natural boundaries, such as railroads, creeks, major highways, election districts, existing school boundaries, and location of feeder schools.

eGuiding Principles / Criteria
Cost containment (i.e. Efficiencies such as transportation and facility use)
Elimination of existing satellite zones (areas districted to a school that are outside of its boundary)
Minimize the number of times any one student is reassigned
Feeder pattern continuity
Phasing in boundary changes by grade levels for high schools
Maintaining diversity among all involved schools

Review of DRAFT Options
Remember that everything is considered DRAFT!
• Nothing is written in stone• Existing DRAFT Options are subject to change• New options can/will be created
• Focus isn’t on picking the best solution YET, but to openly explore the various options to present to the public for feedback.
3 DRAFT Options are presented to you this evening• Committee has 8.5x11 maps, as well as plots of
maps for review tonight
• Options maps are also now on the interactive webmap (www.croppermap.com/bcpsredistricting)
• Copies of handouts, including small and large format maps will be posted on the Mays Chapel webpage on the BCPS website (http://www.bcps.org/construction/mayschapel/)
When analyzing redistricting options, it is best to look at the information in two different ways.• Study the geography i.e. shape of the current
and option boundary lines.• Look at where the lines shift away from current
vs. the option.• Look at road networks and envision how school
buses and parents would travel to the school
• Study the tables and enrollment / utilization estimate• Review the balance of enrollment, and identify
any imbalances that may exist.• Understand why there are any imbalances in the
enrollment / utilization, or examine possible ways to improve the balance.

overcrowding
