[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding effective date of the policy... if you watch the work session video (which I did), my impression is that the policy revisions go into effect in '18 but this East-West zone idea is not part of the transfer policy itself. Dr. Natress presented the framework to the SB within the context of the transfer discussion, because she wanted the School Board to understand the potential future restructuring ideas before they voted on the policy to make sure that it would fit with the new framework. I think the actual East-West implementation won't happen for a few more years-- at the very least, they need to get the new S. Arlington ES built and finish the expansion of Reed in Westover. So I think it is more likely a 2020 or 2021 roll-out. But let's be real here-- if they go with this plan, the entire County is going to have to go through a massive redistricting process for ES (and possibly HS too, if they build a 4th comprehensive high school). Unless you live in the walking zone to your neighborhood ES, I think there is a chance you will move. [/quote]

It's also clear in the markup of the policy that things like IB, Immersion, etc. are being shown as the exiting options available now but may at some point be split into zones based on demand/capacity.[/quote]
