Many parents have expressed concern over plans to redistrict the school system to alleviate overcrowding and to accommodate a new elementary school and a high school still in its planning stages.
Committee members said they encourage public involvement.
"We've been trying to do this in a very open, courteous, respectful manner," said school board member and committee chairwoman Lisa Stuckey. "We've been very successful at doing that so far."
One of the ways the committee has encouraged resident involvement is by making redistricting calculators available on the school system's Web site.
Interested residents can use the elementary and middle school segment calculators to design their own redistricting maps, all of which will be considered by the committee.
"They are having an effect on the process that is taking place," Stuckey said.
The committee has printed maps in local newspapers created by committee members as well as maps created by local residents.
New maps considered for publication were revised Tuesday night after Estes Hills Elementary parents voiced concern about other recently developed plans.
These parents said they thought that the plans were devised without taking into consideration Estes Hills' desire to maintain neighborhood schools.
