Well, it's official... Marion Elementary attendance boundaries in Lost Creek Ranch WILL NOT CHANGE!
I just posted the high points of the story on the LCR HOA website, but here they are again:

After a storied battle by Allen, TX Residents to make their voices heard, one which included televised news coverage, Lost Creek Ranch Residents were victorious today. The AISD School Board voted 7-1 in favor of the school boundaries proposal that will keep ALL of Lost Creek Ranch attending the school named "Marion Elementary at Lost Creek Ranch". A great BIG thank you went out to the committee and all of the other volunteers that made sure that the Lost Creek Residents' voices were heard on this issue which would have affected so many of our children (and, quite possibly, some neighborhood property values). There is little doubt that the committee's hard work preparing alternative boundary solutions, and rallying Resident attendance for Board meetings and at hearings (I was at several), provided the visibility needed to help keep all of Lost Creek Ranch at Marion Elementary. Click here to see the new maps on the AISD web site showing the 2009 and 2010 school attendance areas. Hurray for LCR! Rising up to support one another, even those who would not have been affected by the changes, is there any better definition of community?
