After reviewing data, reports, and community feedback on the proposed boundary change options, the Marysville School District Board of Directors took action at their regular session meeting on May 5, 2021. The action approved Option C out of the three options presented to the community and the board in public town hall meetings, work study sessions, and through online and written feedback opportunities.
School board president Vanessa Edwards explained that the boundary change will not go into effect until the 2022 - 2023 school year to allow for preparation, planning, bus routing, and communication to families.
The boundary change process began during the 2019 - 2020 school year where the Marysville School District Enrollment and Demographics Committee of parents, staff, and community members met multiple times during the 2019 - 2020 school year to identify feeder patterns for elementary, middle, and high schools and ultimately make a recommendation to the Board of Directors to establish high school attendance boundaries. Following the committee’s work,
the Board of Directors asked for additional time, information, and community participation in the process which was further delayed by COVID. The work resumed this past November with consultant Spencer Welch and has included monthly updates to the school board, several presentations at public board meetings, and four community town hall meetings to seek feedback.
Option C, effective the 2022 - 2023 school year is outlined below. Between now and implementation, the district will communicate with families to share information and steps throughout the process.
