[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn't new. It's from the 2014 boundary study when MacFarland and Wells were in distant planning and all the feeder elementaries were Pk-8 education campuses. It's a very small number of DCPS students who are in those two zones. The 2024 boundary study recommended ending that grandfathering but the mayor didn't accept that recommendation. (I was on the 2024 study committee.)[/quote]

not correct. This year (25-26) was the last and final school year of that grandfathering -- https://dcgov.app.box.com/v/2023dcboundaryreport

Recommendation 8
DCPS shall, effective SY2025-26, sunset the 2015
Boundary and Student Assignment revisions that
extended the phase-in policy for families assigned to a
new middle until 2022 (for instance, those neighborhoods
that had extended phase-in policies maintaining rights to
enroll at both MacFarland MS and Deal MS) as well as
sunset the establishment of dual rights for 8th graders at
Kelly Miller MS, removing their right to attend Eastern HS
(by feeder right). This sunsetting ensures that every
middle school attendance zone boundary will consist of
the select elementary attendance zones designated to it,
and no students will have multiple middle school
geographic rights. [/quote]

Yes, that was a recommendation. And the Mayor didn't accept it. Here is the Mayor's response from June 2024:

"Lastly, because this is our second comprehensive boundary study, I have asked DCPS to review any Phase-in Policies from the first study conducted in 2014. Given the lack of clarity for affected families (particularly during and after the pandemic), any Phase-in Policies from 2014 will be addressed at a later time."
