D204 Boundary Change Protest
Parents and families who send their kids to Welch Elementary and Neuqua Valley High School gathered to protest Indian Prairie School District 204‘s proposed boundary adjustment plans on Saturday. The boundary committee is currently considering two concepts known as “Concept #1” and “Concept #3. In Concept #1, homes north of 87th Street would be reassigned to Owen Elementary and eventually Waubonsie Valley High School. Two major concerns for parents are the lack of walkability to school and students being less encouraged to take part in after school activities. The next boundary committee meeting is October 27 at 6:30 p.m. at Still Middle School.
