The new school boundary maps have been released with some minor changes that affect Fremont families. According to our sister site, MyBallard, the most-anticipated change is for Ballard High School.
The new map shows the northern line remains NW 85th St, but the eastern line has moved from Aurora Ave to Greenwood Ave. There will be two community information meetings to explain the rationale behind the maps. The first is on November 5 at Roosevelt High School, and the second is on November 7 at Rainier Beach High School. For times and locations, click here.
The Student Assignment Plan (.pdf), which was approved in June, gave the district the go-ahead to outline boundaries around each elementary, middle and high school. Under the proposed plan, students would be designated a school based on their home address. District-wide open enrollment would no longer be an option.
The School Board will vote on the final boundary map on November 18. If approved, the changes will take effect for students entering kindergarten, 6th grade and 9th grade in the 2010-2011 school year.
