[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The last time there was rezoning the final phase took over six years to go into effect. That being said in 6 years your child will just be ending elementary. There are no guarantees in K that you can be sure of HS placement. [/quote]

That’s ridiculous. Families should have certainty when becoming a part of a system that the rules aren’t going to change.

The new paradigm is that boundaries will be reassessed every 10 years.
This was put into law in 2013/14:

"As part of the process in 2013 and 2014, city officials recommended boundaries be revisited regularly on a 10-year schedule. That’s similar to the redistricting process that follows the decennial U.S. Census, when ward and Advisory Neighborhood Commission boundaries are redrawn to reflect shifts in the city’s population."

With this cadence, the boundary studies should take place in years ending in '3' (e.g., 2013, 2023, 2033...) going forward. Proposed changes are submitted to the Mayor in the winter of 2023-24 SY (soon).

Since the lottery for SY 24-25 opened in December, they are allowing SY 24-25 to be the 'old'/current boundaries. Boundaries take effect in 2025-26.

So, you can assume "new" boundaries are in effect for years ending in XXX5-XXX6 going forward. Make plans accordingly.[/quote]
