The controversial proposal to redraw the Ballard High School boundary will be introduced to the school board tonight. Just over a dozen Seattle residents are slated to speak before the board — several about Ballard High specifically.

As we wrote last month, the latest proposed maps either exclude a chunk of North Ballard — which would go to Ingraham near Bitter Lake — or move West Woodland to the new high school in Wallingford. Under these scenarios, Magnolia remains in the Ballard High zone.

The meeting begins at 4:15 this afternoon (Wednesday) at 2445 3rd Avenue S. Public testimony is scheduled for 5:30, and the board is expected to discuss the issue sometime after 6:30. The meeting is scheduled to adjourn at 8:30 p.m.
