Drawing the Line:
Redistricting Provo School District
your chance to have a say in Provo's future schools
This
website has been created to allow the citizens and leaders of Provo
City to collaborate in ensuring fair representation on the Provo School
District Board. The city council has been required by a new law
to divide the school board into seven districts, and is looking
for public involvement. You can use this site to participate in
two
ways:
- Use an interactive map to review current proposals, and create and submit your own proposal.
- View submitted proposals and submit your comments.
Either way, your input will be entered into the official record, the same
as if you commented in a council meeting. That means you have a better
chance of having your ideas heard using this website than hoping for time
in a meeting, and you have a better opportunity to present your ideas in
a reasoned and informative manner.
- The Rules--the current situation, why
we have to redistrict, and the state laws governing the process. Please
review this page before providing your input!
- Current Proposals--review official
and citizen proposals to date and give feedback on them.
- Do-it-yourself
Redistrictor--use an interactive map to modify the current districts
or proposals, or draw your own from scratch, and submit them for consideration.
It's a lot easier than you think! Before you can use this map,
you must install the Adobe SVG Viewer Plug-in
version 3.0. If the title and legend appear, but not the map,
it's because you don't have the most current plug-in. If you have difficulty using the service, contact Dr. Plewe at plewe@byu.edu.
- Reference Map--having difficulty getting your bearings
on the simple maps? Here is a detailed street map of Provo (Acrobat
PDF) that should help.
- What do you think?--we
invite (no, beg for) your feedback on this site and service so Provo City
can continue to improve its services to citizens!
Service designed and implemented by Dr. Brandon Plewe, BYU Geography,
in cooperation with the Provo Municipal Council, January 2003
