The committee reviewed survey data from over 1,000 respondents, highlighting community priorities such as maintaining neighborhood schools, managing class sizes, ensuring equitable access, and balancing fiscal responsibility. The discussion emphasized the importance of transparency, active community involvement, and targeted outreach to underrepresented areas to inform future decisions on school assignments, boundaries, and facilities.
