Committee adopts Scenario 7 elementary boundaries and flex-zone rules
What happened
Scenario 7 takes effect July 1, 2026. The Committee also approved enrollment-policy revisions, flex zones for new registrants, limited grandfathering, and voluntary placement offers to balance large classes.
Why it matters to families

The evidence
The April 9 approved minutes record the Scenario 7 vote, unanimous flex-zone policy vote, grandfathering provisions, and expanded placement authority.
