School Attendance Boundaries

The District is reviewing elementary school attendance boundaries to support long-term planning and consistent enrollment practices.

Key considerations include:

• Providing clear enrollment guidelines for families

• Balancing enrollment and capacity across elementary schools

• Supporting the continued growth of the Dual Immersion Program

• Improving operational efficiencies such as transportation and scheduling

• Supporting facilities planning and resource allocation

The proposed boundary updates are expected to primarily impact newly enrolled students, including:

• Students enrolling in the District for the first time

• Students moving into the District or changing residences after adoption

In many cases, currently enrolled students may not be affected, depending on the final boundary plan approved by the Board of Trustees.

Grandfathering allows students who are currently enrolled to remain at their current school, even if newly adopted boundary lines would otherwise assign them to a different school.

The District recognizes the importance of stability and continuity for students and families. Grandfathering considerations may include:

• Allowing students to remain at their current school

• Minimizing school changes for older students

• Considering sibling and programmatic needs

Final grandfathering guidelines will be reviewed and approved by the Board of Trustees as part of the boundary adoption process.

Attendance boundary updates do not eliminate transfer options.

Intra-District Transfers
Families may request an intra-District transfer to attend a school outside of their assigned boundary. Approval is subject to:

• School capacity

• Program availability

• Allowable exceptions under District guidelines

Interdistrict Transfers
Interdistrict transfers will continue to follow established policies and timelines. Approval is not automatic and depends on capacity and applicable regulations.

The District, in partnership with MGT, Inc., has developed multiple draft boundary scenarios for review.

These scenarios are intended for analysis and discussion and are not final decisions. Scenario considerations include:

• Balancing enrollment across schools

• Assigning students based on proximity and driving time

• Considering where students are currently attending school

• Accounting for school site capacity

• Evaluating walk distances around each school

Draft maps and an interactive map will be posted once available.

January 14, 2026 – Board of Trustees Meeting

• Draft boundary map scenarios presented as an informational item

• Board discussion and public input

• No vote will take place

February 11, 2026 – Board of Trustees Meeting

• Board consideration of proposed boundary maps

• Vote on adoption

If approved, boundary implementation would begin with enrollment planning for the 2026–27 school year.
