In terms of losing students, Parkview will be significantly affected. As a result, Riley's stu- dent population will be affected considerably. The new boundaries will take effect Sept. 2001. The district is currently working on a system to notify families that will be affected by these boundary changes. If you have not been notified or have any questions, you can call the school your child attends to ask if they are in a new school boundary or drop in and look at the boundary map ub ed in your school. | If you have questions about the guidelines that the SLC School board used in establishing the boundary realignment, you may contact your school board representative, Hla Rose Fife at 521-7383. ¢ _ |
