I thought it would be helpful to create a one-stop shop of all the articles written by residents and school officials in connection to the reconfiguration and redistricting plan developed by Dr. Varely and voted on by Doug Reinstein, Michael D’Aquila, Christine Reilly and Angela Penna. This body of work represents one of the most thorough, collaborative, fact based, resident driven efforts I’ve ever experienced on a local level. I will update the list as more articles come out.
