Citing an inequitable socioeconomic balance and the unnecessary splitting of neighborhoods, several parents voiced their concerns regarding the Camas School District’s proposed boundary changes at a meeting last night.

“Really, what we want for our district is to have everyone be treated fairly,” said Emily Gillespie, a Helen Baller parent. “My children attend the fourth closest school to our house. All the surrounding neighbors attend other schools. Our neighborhood is being used to socioeconomically balance Baller. There’s a bus that goes by my house that drops kids off at Grass Valley.”
