Keep Original NISD Proposed Boundaries for Ellison Elementary

The original boundary configuration that was proposed for Ellison and LSE makes much more sense than does the haphazard response to opposition. When you consider the feeder alliance into the middle schools that is based upon IH 10 as the delineation point, it seems reasonable and rational to keep Steeplebrook, Stonewall Ranch, Stonewall Estates and Crownridge as the main composition of Ellison. In turn, these same neighborhoods all feed into Garcia MS. Conversely, the Dominion feeds into Rawlinson. It seems awkwardly manipulated and contrived to pull Steeplebrook and Stonewall Ranch from that middle school feeder alliance.

It also appears like a back-room deal was made when a vote was executed on a boundary that had not before been publicly distributed or made known. It seems like the vote would be yes or no to the proposed boundary and then if not agreed to, an alternative would be proposed and subsequently voted on. #didn'tseethatcoming
