So, what happens when a school doesn’t have enough room for all the students in its zone?
Under the new plan, many schools will be filled with out-of-zone students who want to be grandfathered there. At some schools, the district will try to accommodate both the grandfathered and in-zone students by adding portable classrooms. But that won’t be possible everywhere. At schools where there are more students applying than seats available, grandfathered students will be allowed to remain. After that, students who live closest to the school will get priority.
