It’s a proximity-based student assignment plan. Through a collaboration between community and district stakeholders with Davis Demographics, GIS technology is being used to organize elementary schools and students into new attendance boundaries. According to the District’s website, “The goals of the new elementary school student assignment plan are to make strategic improvements on the current plan by creating attendance zones that are smaller, address issues of student isolation, maintain choice, improve transportation efficiency (bus ride/wait times), and build stronger community schools.” Each new draft scenario has between 15 to 16 new zones compared to the 6 sub-zones the District currently has.
