2025-26 Enrollment Proposal

Initial Draft

On September 3, 2024, staff members presented the first draft of a new Student Enrollment Proposal to the Board of Education. The proposal includes proposed school assignment changes for the 2025-26 school year.  Overall, we anticipate that only a small percentage of students will be affected by this proposal. This is the beginning of a community conversation that is scheduled to conclude with the school board adopting a final plan on November 26. Watch the presentation on YouTube.

Why is this proposal necessary?

This year's student assignment proposal focuses on opening Bowling Road Elementary, Pleasant Plains Elementary, Rex Road Elementary, and Felton Grove High. Also, the proposal includes base assignment changes, calendar application changes, and other recommendations to relieve capped and overcrowded schools, while filling underutilized schools. Many of these changes will allow students to attend a less crowded school and to have shorter bus routes. 

The Board will also discuss options that allow families affected by this proposal the opportunity to apply for a stability transfer to remain at their current school without district transportation. Review the stability rules.

How does the process work?

Parents may provide feedback and ask questions on our online forum ThoughtExchange. We will also host an in-person information session and four virtual information sessions. The Board is scheduled to review feedback received on the initial draft on October 15. The Board is scheduled to vote on a final plan on Nov. 26. View the timeline.
