That's when they will start taking effect for 9th and 10th graders (most likely) and then the additional grades will get added in year by year.


Not what has been communicated at all. You’re forgetting 6th and 7th grade


This is from the FAQ on the boundary study page:

When will the new boundaries go into effect and which grades will Crown High School and Woodward High School open with?

The superintendent of schools supports that the new boundaries be implemented beginning with grades 9 and 10 in the 2027-2028 school year and that rising grade 11 and 12 students remain at their current high school of attendance. The implementation would continue with grades 9 through 11 in the 2028-2029 school year followed by full implementation of grades 9 through 12 in the 2029-2030 school year.

In addition, the superintendent supports that the new boundaries be implemented beginning with grades 6 and 7 for the 2027-2028 school year, while the rising 8th grade stays at their currently assigned school followed by a full implementation of grades 6 through 8 in the 2028-2029 school year.

Ultimately, the Board of Education has the final approval for these decisions.

And 6th and 7th graders.

MS/HS boundaries change fall 2027.
They haven't said for ES boundaries, but looks like maybe fall 2028.
You didn't ask about the HS regional/countywide program changes but those are also supposed to happen in fall 2027 according to MCPS, although everyone else thinks that is too rushed and they should wait until fall 2028.

That is the goal. Public input is not wanted.
