This is important on many different levels:

1. Currently, students must travel great distances out of their home areas on a daily basis, even past other existing high schools, to get their education.  This involves travel of 11 or more miles each way across the heart of the city, adding to the most congested traffic areas. 
2. Current bus system is inadequate--adds to environmental pollution, is costly, and requires excess time constraints on the students' lives.  Students otherwise in walking distance of the needed school are having to pay for excess transportation across the city on a daily basis.
3. The high school is a leading factor in the selection of home sales--as evidenced by all the new home sales personnel and local resale realtors.  Many of the homeowners feel they must relocate their current residence to correspond to the academic needs of their children. 
4. Beginning in 2006, homeowners were promised the new high school would be open by 2013 and bought homes and made financial commitments with that expectation.  Recent articles posted by the school district have now stated no expectation of opening the new high school even by 2020.  
5. Our children are being used to keep older schools open to meet district quotas, thus skewing district information.  There is enough enrollment to open the new high school within the student's residential area. 
6. The latest high school district map indicates future housing developments are also directed towards existing boundaries using older schools, not towards the expected new high school site.  
7. We want to see the Roseville Joint Union High School District fulfill its promised commitments, build the new West Roseville high school, and redistrict the boundaries as they should be to coincide with local residency needs.
