Boundaries

Today’s Trib story sounds innocent enough…..well, golly, Duluth, its about time we figure out where to put those boundaries.

In fact, this has been so tricky that the District has intentionally avoided talking about it. Now they have offered the unhappy options available to them under any plan which divides Duluth in two. Every option guarantees a major discrepancy between Denfeld and Ordean High School’s student bodies.
