[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When is the next redistricting?[/quote] NP, but I'm a HCPSS parent. The school attendance areas are evaluated every year to see if the boundaries need to be redrawn. It does not happen every year, and when it does, it may only be confined to a particular area. This fall, a new high school is opening in Jessup which is causing a big shift on the east side for high schools and some middle schools. (This redistricting has already been passed by the BOE.) Because of the growing county population, it's not unusual for a new school to be opening up so there will always be some redistricting related to that. Otherwise, redistricting occurs when there is a capacity imbalance. If they see a school is above or below a certain capacity threshold, attempts are made to even it out. While they are at it, they do try to balance FARMS students to avoid having very wealthy or very poor schools, but it is not the primary goal of redistricting.[/quote]
