Below are frequently asked questions regarding the D21 Map Design Committee. We hope this information is helpful as you learn more about the committee’s work. What is the D21 Map Design Committee? The D21 Map Design Committee is a community-led group formed to study the district’s current school map and consider whether it still works as well as it can for today’s students. The committee’s work will focus on research, data, community feedback, and thoughtful discussion to develop potential solutions. Why is the district doing this now? The district map was last redrawn 22 years ago, and our community has changed since then. Enrollment patterns, family needs, and how our schools are used have shifted over time. With all buildings recently renovated and consistent curriculum and programs in place, this is the right moment to reflect on whether the current map still best supports students. Does this mean changes are…

D21’s mission is to maximize achievement and honor the uniqueness of every student, everyday. To guide that work, the district has long used Greatness Indicators — superior performance, distinctive impact, and lasting endurance — to assess decisions and progress. Those same indicators will ground the committee’s work. This is a community-led design process, and does not have a predetermined outcome. True to its name, the Map Design Committee will research, listen, gather feedback, evaluate options, and create solutions informed by data and community voice. Our community is not the same as it was 22 years ago, when the district map was last redrawn. Families, enrollment patterns, and student needs have shifted — and it’s responsible to pause, reflect, and ask whether our current map still serves students as well as it can. This is the right time to do that work. All D21 buildings have been recently renovated and offer…
