Here is a good background article on the so-called "Win-Win Agreement" which specifies how annexation and school district boundaries interact in Franklin County. The Win-Win plays into this because developers in general view school districts as part of their "product" -- that is, people choose to live in Hilliard because they want their kids to go to Hilliard Schools. Therefore the developer prefers land within a suburb's current boundaries, or within areas which the suburb can annex (as specified by the sewer/water contract with the City of Columbus). Hilliard's water/sewer agreement boundaries are Roberts Rd to the south and approximately Walker Rd to the west. School sites south of Roberts Rd were not seriously considered because the school officials were told that no water/sewer service would be provided to them south of Roberts Rd.

A full copy of the Win Win Agreement is available here. My thoughts on the Win-Win are here.
