Where are the students coming from?

Given that the Iowa City Community School District (ICCSD) is still in the public engagement process of facilities’ planning, I find it troubling that its administration is making an acquisition of land so close to an existing elementary school. A lot of transparency is called for from Mr. Murley, and it should come quickly. From where is he going to get students to attend this new elementary school? Hoover? Hills? Those students in the Grant Wood or Mark Twain attendance areas, including those who have open enrolled out? How will he ensure that the socioeconomic balance of this new school aligns with the ICCSD’s diversity plan?  Does this acquisition have anything to do with restructuring schools under NCLB?  Is this the best location for an elementary school?
