Every four years the St. Vrain Valley School District Board of Education is required to reapportion district boundaries.This reapportionment is designed to equalize the population within each of the seven director districts.The result is that director district boundary lines are moved.

According to District data, significant population increases have occurred in all districts except for Director District E, which reflects a decrease of 567 (see map on page 3). The greatest increase occurred in District A.Since 1996, District A’s population increased by 3,816 residences. 

District B’s population, which includes Niwot and the surrounding vicinity, in-creased by 619 for a total population of 13,023 in 1999.

District B’s boundary has gained residences that were originally in District E.This area is outlined on the map.As of 1999, District B population is 13,197 compared to the district average of 13,128.This reflects the growth of 793 residences.

Overall, the total district population has increased from 73,862 in 1990, to 85,700 in 1996 and 91,893 in 1999.This reflects a total increase of 18,031.

District boundaries will not change again until 2004.Since2000 is a census year, the school district is hopeful that the census numbers will help refine district population numbers.
