Dear Whiffletree Homeowners,

As you might know, PISD will be voting on 1 of 4 proposed scenarios for school redistricting in West Plano on November 3rd. Only one of these proposals, CW-1, keeps students from Schimelpfenig (Carlisle, Bethany and Mathews) going to Jasper HS which is rated exemplary by the Texas Education Association. In the other three scenarios, CW-2, 3, and 4, children from our neighborhoods will feed into either Clark HS or Vines HS, both of which are rated only recognized.

We feel that a feeder system that keeps Schimelpfenig Middle School (SMS) students feeding through Jasper HS is the only solution. Our current feeder plan has our neighborhood going from SMS to Jasper HS and then on to Plano Senior HS (PSHS). Plan CW#1, proposed by the feeder committee, has our neighborhood feeding Jasper HS then on to Plano West Senior High (PWSH). While this is not ideal from a capacity standpoint, it is the only plan which keeps our neighborhood aligned with Jasper HS. We strongly believe that the current feeder system, or a modified version of CW-1, are the best options as they are the only options that keeps our children attending an exemplary high school.

By signing this petition, you are sending a message to the Plano ISD Board that feeder scenarios CW-2, 3, and 4 are NOT acceptable options. You believe that the current feeder system or a modified CW-1, which keep SMS students at Jasper High School, is the only solution that will retain our property values have the lowest environmental impact, and most importantly, provide the best education possible for our children.

Dear Whiffletree Resident,

This petition is regarding the proposed rezoning of Schimelpfenig Middle School. The Whiffletree HOA Board would like to inform you of the following options that are being considered by the Plano Independent School District regarding this rezoning. There are four feeder school proposals.
Current Feeder Schools
Mathews --> Schimelpfenig --> Jasper --> Plano Senior High or Plano West Senior High
Proposal CW-1
Mathews --> Schimelpfenig --> Jasper --> Plano West Senior High
Proposal CW-2
Mathews --> Schimelpfenig --> Clark --> Plano Senior High School
Proposal CW-3
Mathews --> Schimelpfenig --> Vines --> Plano Senior High School
Proposal CW-4
Mathews --> Schimelpfenig --> Clark --> Plano Senior High School

This represents how the schools would change from the current alignment. The Whiffletree HOA Board thinks our neighborhood is best served educationally with PROPOSAL CW-1. We are concerned with the alignments in PROPOSALS CW-2, 3, and 4. We suggest you join in supporting CW-1 for the following reasons.

· Your home’s value is directly affected by the PISD feeder school alignment and will be NEGATIVELY impacted with Proposals CW-2, 3, or 4. Educationally, Jasper out performs both Clark and Vines.
· According to PISD.edu/secondary/, Jasper is rated “Recognized”. Clark and Vines are rated “Acceptable”. It does not make sense to move our children to a lower performing school that is a further distance away.
· Voters approved a bond issue to renovate Jasper so it can accommodate three middle schools. With the renovation complete and tax payers currently repaying the bond, relocating our children to Clark or Vines is a waste of our tax dollars and leaves Jasper underutilized.
· One high school must be fed by three middle schools. Jasper currently receives three middle schools and has maintained a “Recognized” status. It only makes sense to continue with this successful alignment.

The Whiffletree HOA believes this issue is vitally important.
