Center for Applied Demography & Survey Research Guiding Principles for redistricting:
1.Preserve current attendance boundaries as best as possible
2. Transportation issues (safety of students)
3. Do our best to not split neighborhoods
4. Align attendance zone boundaries with natural features (roads, streams)
5. Keep in mind artificial boundaries (neighborhoods, municipal boundaries, zipcodes)
6. Keep in mind the demographics across all middle schools
