School Director Region Reapportionment Study Update - Plan Submission

The Ad Hoc School Board Region Reapportionment Committee met on November 17, 2015. With input from community members, the Committee developed two possible reapportionment plans for consideration. These plans meet the parameters required by the state and also meet much of the criteria established by the Committee during its first meeting. The plans are available below.

The Committee invites any interested members of the T/E community to comment on these two plans or to submit a plan of their own. Comments and suggested plans can be emailed to webmaster@tesd.net. In order to be considered at the next meeting, all submissions must be made by Friday, January 15, 2016. All submissions will be made public on the District web site. Plans submitted by T/E community members must include a rationale explaining how the plan addresses inequities in the voting regions as well as the following Committee-established criteria.
  • Three regions
  • Three representatives per region
  • Sustainable for some time
  • Keep neighborhoods together
  • Compact regions
  • Create the least disruption as possible
  • Consider potential population of new developments
  • Keep plan simple
  • Consider all possible plans that fall within ratio 
Next Meeting Date
The next meeting of the Committee will be held on January 26, 2016, at 7:00 pm in Room 200 of the Tredyffrin/Easttown Administration Offices, 940 West Valley Road, Suite 1700 in Wayne.
