What rationale was used in expanding the Harriton attendance area?
Because the community will now have two schools of equal size, there is a need to move more students from the more densely populated eastern part of the township to Harriton in order to ensure effective utilization of both high school facilities. Inevitably, many families will be affected by new feeder patterns. The current plan preserves official walking zones for all schools while more effectively minimizing travel times for middle and high school students by shifting the Harriton attendance area away from the City Avenue corridor.
