We began by presenting the process and background datasets to the Board of Education on October 14th. During this time, we also introduced a boundary planning criteria survey that asked community members to provide their top priorities for redistricting. We will next use the survey response data to create boundary scenarios (scenarios have yet to be created). Once scenarios are created and finalized, they will be presented to the community for feedback (in December). The feedback that is received about the boundary scenarios will then be compiled into a report and used to inform the final boundary recommendation. The recommendation will then be provided to the Board of Education for approval.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">The information below explains each step in the process further: <\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\"><strong>Data Review and Analysis:\u00a0<\/strong>Data pertaining to the geographies within the Middletown City Schools will be reviewed and analyzed throughout the process.
