Committee adopts Scenario 7 elementary boundaries and flex-zone rules

Day-to-day

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 boundary map determines elementary assignments after open enrollment ends. Flex-zone and grandfathering rules affect siblings, transportation, school continuity, and how the district manages unequal class sizes during and after transition.

The evidence

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