[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i think that is incorrect.  current students can continue and i believe that the first class fall 2025 enrolling spring 2024 can basically choose the old in-boundary school or the new in-boundary school.  after that it is different[/quote]

I’m not totally clear, but based on my interpretation of the hill rag article quoted at the beginning of the post, if you are not enrolled in spring 2024 then you can’t attend your old in bound. I am in a situation where you can only get into your inbounds school for pre-K with a sibling preference. So we likely won’t be able to enroll by spring 2025.[/quote]

If I’m understanding right, you are in a school like Maury where generally only sibs get in for prek3 and you didn’t lottery for longer term options because you assumed you had a great option inbound for K. Yes, that’s unfortunate. I would relottery next year for both your inbound and for some other elementary options. Ultimately these changes are with the goal of making schools work better for all, not you personally. Most of the changes will be marginal given lack of political and community will to make real changes. You should look at the zone map and the inbound data and enrollment capacity to get a better sense of you’re actually at risk of being rezoned and talk to a realtor to see what the impact of a rezoning could be and maybe explore moving now if you think you’re house value will go down more than you can take. Ultimately it’s all about what risk you want to bear, both financially and for your child to go to one of the other schools in your area. [/quote]
