The Board voted to eliminate the attendance area known as the Buffer Zone and to use proximity as the primary criterion for determining school attendance boundaries to bring each school closer to its target enrollment. The June 18 decision only affects the Buffer Zone. Additional criteria will come to the Board for consideration at a future date.
No changes will go into effect for the 2018-19 school year. In 2018-19, all District 86 students will attend the school they are currently scheduled to attend. No attendance boundaries have been determined yet.
The Board will have future meetings to discuss and review next steps, including how and when to implement attendance boundaries. Any future Board discussions on boundary changes and related considerations will be indicated on the meeting agenda, previewed in First Look sent before the meeting, and the meeting summary Board Briefs sent the day after the meeting.
