Homeowner and Parent Urge Board to Reject Lincoln Crossing Boundary Reassessment

A Lincoln Crossing homeowner urged the Western Placer Unified School District Board of Trustees to reject a proposed reassessment of school boundaries that would move neighborhood children to different elementary, middle and high schools.

Robin Lack, who said she is a homeowner, parent and realtor, told trustees she believes the district’s process lacked transparency and adequate notice to affected homeowners. “If a decision truly hasn't been made, why is the final action date already on the calendar before even holding a public meeting with the affected families and homeowners?” Lack asked, adding that many Lincoln Crossing and nearby homeowners received no notification about the change and that the reassessment could affect property values and community cohesion.

Lack referenced Mello‑Roos community facilities district (CFD) funding, saying residents paid special taxes intended for schools in the development and asking whether current boundary plans would exclude original tax owners from the schools they helped finance. She asked the board to vote no on the boundary change proposal.

Superintendent and staff noted they have scheduled information meetings for affected areas: two public meetings at Lincoln Crossing next week and earlier meetings regarding First Street Elementary; staff also reminded the public the board cannot respond to nonagenda items during public comment because of the Brown Act but will collect concerns and hold scheduled engagement sessions.

No board vote occurred on the boundary reassessment at the meeting; staff said engagement and information meetings will proceed and additional public discussion is planned before any formal board action.
