Check out the Proposed School Zoning Map in question.   The X's represent where the board members live who will continue their terms, clockwise from the top:  Jester, Edler, Walker, Cunningham, Copelin-Wood.  We've updated this version of the map to indicate where the cell towers (as proposed) will be located as well as the location of the schools where the towers were orignally planned, but were removed from the list.

Here is the map that was proposed during the substitute motion.  It has seven districts, but does not indicate how the members would be split up among those districts.
It was not clear which of the board members would continue or whether a new election would be held for all districts.

The final map will be determined sometime before Wednesday, Feb. 17 without any further public input.
