[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any guidance on what can actually happen after boundaries are re-drawn? We bought our house on the Hill partly because we really like the local elementary but we are on the edge of the boundary. The other options we could be redrawn to are not something we would be interested in past ECE. We are awaiting PK3 results right now but were not sure we would enroll this year as we get a sibling preference at a hard to get into daycare for our second. Since we are guaranteed our great local for K, we were considering not enrolling (if we even get in) and waiting to try again for PK4 or even wait until K. Now I am a bit panicked because if we don't enroll for PK3 we could get rezoned. Or could it be even worse and even if we start in PK3 could we get kicked out? Would love to know if there is anything practical or if we are just going to have to wait and find out. [/quote]

New boundaries could go into effect as soon as SY25-26. That would be your kid's K year. Based on what you have said, seems like some risk. Grandfathering in prior changes has applied only to kids enrolled at the time changes go into effect. This means if you are there you stay there (at least through termination of the school, what happens after is up in the air). FWIW, in yea's past they have also applied a grandfathering for a year or for siblings, meaning your younger might get pulled in by the older. That too is subject to change.

You are in a tough spot. If you didn't have the younger kid and daycare issue I'd tell you to suck it up and enroll the kid on the PK3 at the ES to guarantee the spot. But anyone who has had to solve for daycare knows it is not an easy task and that having a good, cost effective daycare that works for your commute is really important.

Best of luck.  [/quote]
