What is a phase-in boundary?
A phase-in boundary is an attendance boundary which has been changed for a specific grade range (for example, K-5) but only a portion of those grade levels will change for the first year (for example, K-only). The following year the next higher grade (for example, K-1 only) will be included until all the grades that have been designated to change schools have been included at the school which will be receiving the students. A K-5 boundary change which would start the first year with only a K change would take six years to be complete; K the first year, K-1 the second year, K-2 the third year, K-3 the fourth year, K-4 the fifth year, and finally K-5 the sixth year.
