Each time a new school is built, boundaries for other schools have to be adjusted to accommodate enrollment and projected growth. And parents of students affected by the boundaries can have a say in how the lines are drawn.

Each time a new school is built, boundaries for other schools have to be adjusted to accommodate enrollment and projected growth. And parents of students affected by the boundaries can have a say in how the lines are drawn.
The Douglas County School District's Citizens Long Range Planning Committee has scheduled a series of meetings to talk about how these future changes might be made. The committee will present boundary options at the meetings.
The first meeting concerns new middle and high school No. 6, now under construction on Wildcat Reserve Parkway at Summit View Parkway in south central Highlands Ranch.
Those schools will impact enrollments at Highland Ranch and ThunderRidge high schools, and Ranch View and Cresthill middle schools.
The meetings are at 7 p.m., Oct. 12 at Cresthill Middle School; Oct. 23, at ThunderRidge High School; Oct. 25, Roxborough Elementary School; Oct. 26, at Highlands Ranch High School; and Oct. 30, Ranch View Middle School.
The second series of meetings will address boundaries for the new elementary school No. 32 in Parker's Stonegate subdivision. This school will impact enrollments at Pine Grove and Cherokee Trail elementary schools.
The 7 p.m. meetings for No. 32 are Nov. 14 at Cherokee Trail Elementary; Nov. 20, at Iron Horse Elementary; and Nov. 29, at Pine Grove Elementary.
During the third and last meetings in the series, the boundaries for elementary school No. 33 near Summit View Parkway and Fairview Parkway in Highlands Ranch will be discussed.
This school will impact enrollments at Summit View and Arrowwood elementary schools.
The last meetings are 7 p.m., Nov. 16 at Summit View, and Nov. 28 at Sand Creek elementary schools.
A site for elementary school No. 34 in Highlands Ranch has yet to be selected. The board of education was expected to review the committee's recommendations last night and decide on a location last night.
School No. 34 will have an impact on up to five elementary schools in the Highland Heritage Regional Park area.
Including No. 34, 10 new schools are proposed for construction in the next five years, depending on voter approval of a $178.2 million bond issue on the Nov. 7 ballot.
It's projected that six more schools are needed in Highlands Ranch, two in Castle Rock and two in Parker.
