[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When is the next redistricting?[/quote]

While they do reevaluated every year, in recent history, it's been about every 2-5 years where there is more than just a few octagons moved.  However, as PP mentioned, this year (SY23-24), High School 13 is opening up in Jessup.  There is a major change for this coming fall.  The problem is that due to many constraints, many of the zoned kids will be electing to stay at their current school.  The school district exempted juniors and seniors if they chose so that they could finish their school year at the current school.  Additionally, the school district is allowing students/families to appeal the redistricting if they are involved in activities, clubs, courses that may be impacted by changing schools.  For instance, athletes, cheerleaders, band, orchestra and others who are involved in their school program and made commitments or have achievement goals that may not be met at the new school (not all of these activities will be ready to be offered in the first year), were allowed to appeal their zoning to the new school.

Due to the high volume of requests to remain, this school year, will be hectic.  So, it is likely that next year, based on the results of this year's attendance, they may be doing another zoning reorganization to try to make sure to use the new school to avoid overcrowding at existing schools.

Also, Elementary school #43 i Jessup will be opening SY26-27.  And they purchased the land for ES #44 in Ellicott City (near Turf Valley).  The is likely to be opening within 3 years of #43 opening (so likely around SY29-30 or SY30-31).

So, likely SY24-25 will have some significant reorganizations as the dust settles from HS #13 and SY23-24.
Likely SY26-27 will have some reorganizations on the East side to take advantage of the new ES
And then another one 2-3 years later when ES #44 opens.[/quote]
