Redistricting Steering Committee

The District is moving into the next phase of its elementary redistricting process by forming a Redistricting Steering Committee. This Committee will be responsible for developing and recommending a redistricting plan that redraws elementary school attendance boundaries to support balanced enrollment and the effective use of District facilities. The Redistricting Steering Committee’s work will build on the established redistricting parameters and will include School Board review and opportunities for community feedback. 

Charge of the Committee

The Redistricting Steering Committee is charged with developing and recommending an elementary redistricting plan that aligns with the School Board‑approved redistricting parameters. The Committee’s work will result in a proposed redistricting plan that will be presented to the School Board for review, discussion at public meetings, and final approval. Community input will be an important part of this process as the work progresses.

Committee Composition

The Redistricting Steering Committee will be comprised of:

  • 1 administrative staff liaison
  • 10 parents and/or guardians
  • 1 external facilitator
  • Observers, such as School Board members or District staff, as appropriate

An external facilitator will support the committee’s work to help ensure a structured, collaborative, and effective process.

Parent/Guardian Member Requirements

Parent/guardian members of the Redistricting Steering Committee must:

  • Be residents of the Tredyffrin/Easttown School District, and have children enrolled in TESD schools
  • Meet one of the following criteria:
    • Have a child currently enrolled in grades K–2, or
    • Have a child currently enrolled in grades 3–4 and a child not yet school age

Please note that only one participant per TESD household will be considered.

Committee members will be randomly selected from an applicant pool to achieve balanced representation across the District’s elementary attendance areas. The selection process seeks to include:

  • Two parents/guardians from each current elementary attendance area
  • Balanced representation from Hillside families assigned to both middle schools, if possible
  • One alternate parent/guardian per attendance area

Timeline and Meeting Expectations

The application window to serve on the Redistricting Steering Committee was open from April 6 through April 24.

Selected Committee members should expect to:

  • Attend a brief introductory meeting prior to the end of the 2025–26 school year
  • Attend weekly meetings beginning in Fall 2026 and continuing until the redistricting process is completed
  • Adhere to the Committee norms
  • Maintain confidentiality

Next Steps and Community Engagement

The District encourages families and community members to remain engaged as the redistricting process moves forward. Additional information about the Redistricting Steering Committee, the application process, timelines, and opportunities for public feedback will be shared on the District website, in TESD e‑newsletters, and through other established communication channels.
