I live in an area thats being re-assigned due to boundary changes. Does my child have a choice to remain at his/her current school?
In most cases, your child will be re-assigned. However, some boundary changes involve re-assigning only specific grade levels. For example, in some cases, a new school will share the same attendance boundary as an existing school (such as a new Primary Center that is relieving an Elementary School), and will only re-assign students at certain grade levels (such as kindergarten, or 1st grade) to the new school. If your child was attending his or her neighborhood school, you can find out what the conditions of the grade-level assignments related to the boundary changes will be by going to the Boundary Change List and clicking on your school’s name. The specific conditions of your school’s assignment changes will be explained there.
