RESOLUTION NO. 95-29
RESOLUTION REGARDING SCHOOL ATTENDANCE BOUNDARY CHANGES
Whereas, Plymouth is a growing community requiring our respective school districts to
re-examine their attendance boundaries; and,
Whereas, several school districts representing Plymouth residents are either actively
reviewing attendance boundary changes or will be reviewing such boundaries in the
near future; and,
Whereas, the City of Plymouth and its residents have an interest in school attendance
boundaries in relation to future traffic planning, public safety, recreation programming,
community identity and other municipal concerns;
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Plymouth that the
School Districts serving Plymouth residents consider the following objectives in
( establishing school attendance boundaries:
i. That Plymouth residents and neighborhoods should be segmented as little as
possible among different schools,
2. That Plymouth students be allowed to attend the nearest neighborhood school
possible, considering geographic proximity as well as major barriers such as freeways,
3. That Plymouth students and neighborhoods be kept together through the
progression from elementary to high school,
4. That current students be allowed to continue attending their existing schools
as long as practicable, and
5. That the Plymouth City Council offers to work cooperatively through our
Council Coordinating Representatives to achieve these objectives.
Adopted by the Plymouth City Council on January 3, 1995.
