[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another question: at one point, one of the study websites said that any changes will be rolled out slowly, so if you’re enrolled in a school by 2025, you can stay there or choose to go to your newly assigned school.

[b]How does that principle work with the Miner-Maury cluster idea?[/b][/quote]

+1 It looks like the grandfathering clause doesn't apply in the Maury / Miner cluster scenario. My approach to the school lottery from my current prek3 kids (at Miner) would have been completely different if this was known at the time. [/quote]

I would also love to hear the answer to this question. Because a few months ago, we were told, oh, don’t worry about disruption— changes (if any) will roll out slowly, you will NOT need to leave your current school if you’re happy.

And now one of the most disruptive ideas (putting aside the merits), may happen immediately, and half the student body of two different schools may need to move. What gives?[/quote]

“The earliest any changes to school assignment zones or feeder patterns implemented from the Boundary Study would go into effect are SY2025-26, starting in August of 2025. [b]New policies will be clear to families in advance of the lottery process that begins in December 2024.[/b] However, to support a smooth transition, “phase-in” provisions may buffer the immediate impact on many current students and their families. No student will be required to enroll in a different school than they are currently enrolled.”

This is where the “if you’re enrolled in a school by 2025, you won’t need to move” concept came from.

I would love a real answer to this question. [b]I’m sure many people may have played the lottery process differently if this “doesn’t apply” to Miner/Maury.[/b] [/quote]

Agreed, I would like to hear a response from prior advisory committee members on this as well. [/quote]
