Boundary task force develops another high school proposal
May 8, 2008 - 4:01pm — Mark Olson
The District 112 Boundaries Task Force has developed a second high school boundary proposal. Under the first proposal, students in Chaska city limits would attend Chaska High School. Everyone else in District 112 would attend Chanhassen High School, when it opens. The second proposal addresses diversity. According to the District Web site: “One of the frequently asked questions we receive is about the goal to balance diversity and the extent to which that needs to be a priority. “The question usually arises about Proposal 1 and whether we are comfortable with the level of discrepancy on the issue of diversity between the two high schools in Proposal 1. The short answer is ‘yes.’ “We set out with a goal of achieving relative balance and would still see that as ideal. Having said that, we also know from experience in our own district, we can successfully manage deviations from ‘perfect balance’ and still provide quality outcomes for kids. “We have significant variation in demographic diversity in our various elementary schools today, and yet they still have all enjoyed similar success in academic outcomes for kids. The diversity measures are ‘numbers’ to be considered, but they are not the only numbers that matter.” Read next week’s Herald for more information.
