[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All elementary schools are on the table in the next round, which is coming up fast. From an APS press release from Dec 2020: “The motion adopted by the School Board on Dec. 3 directed APS to conduct a countywide process in Fall 2022 to manage elementary school enrollment that will take effect in 2023-24. In 2022, Planning Units that are walkable to a school will be considered for reassignment to that school and all Planning Units that require transportation to their neighborhood school will be considered for reassignment to another nearby school. While APS will seek to avoid reassigning Planning Units in the Fall 2022 process that were reassigned in the 2020 process, it is possible that any Planning Unit could be considered for reassignment.”

Also, during the process of setting the boundary for Reed, APS signaled that they’re looking at moving a choice school to the NW part of the county in this next boundary process. I can’t remember if they specifically called them out, but Tuckahoe and Nottingham are likely on the list.[/quote]
I think that the direction to plan for another round of boundary change in 2022 was just political lip service.  There is a good chance that with all of the uncertainty with COVID and if APS will be five days a week next year that a lot of people will stay private.  Homeschoolers will come back, but kids thinking about private school or already in private will probably not be back in APS next year.  I think APS was the only school over capacity this year.  I don't think other schools will all of a sudden be overcapacity next year.  Makes much less sense to redo boundaries if no school is extremely overcapacity.  
I agree with the PP that boundaries won't likely be redone until 2024.  [/quote]
