Proposed Boundary Change for John Green Elementary School
The Dublin Unified School District (DUSD) is considering a change to the John Green Elementary School boundary to include the K-5 kids in the Sonata and Verona developments in Dublin Ranch (off of Gleason Drive) and exclude the K-5 kids that will eventually be living in the Moller Ranch development (off Tassajara Road, next to the Alameda/Contra Costa county border). Please click on the image above to see the current and proposed boundaries. It’s important to note that the Moller Ranch development has not yet been started and the K-5 kids would likely attend Kolb Elementary under the proposed boundary change. Here are the major pluses to the proposed boundary change:
- It would allow the Verona and Sonata K-5 students to walk to school without crossing Gleason Drive – currently set at a speed limit of 40 MPH.
- The K-5 kids at Moller Ranch will need to be driven to school with or without the boundary change. Based on this, there isn’t much of an impact whether the kids need to be driven to John Green Elementary or the soon-to-be-built Kolb Elementary (expected to be built in 2010).
- The residents of the Sonata and Verona developments overwhelmingly support the proposed boundary change. It’s great to see the DUSD working so closely with parents in the community.
So what are your thoughts on the proposed change? Please feel free to leave a comment and/or contact your elected DUSD Board of Trustees members with your questions and comments. Please click here for a link to the Board of Trustees contact page.
