School Board Considers Re-Districting Proposals

March 26th, 2008 Categories: Crofton News

No decision is expected by the Anne Arundel County School Board on the two re-districting proposals for the Greater Crofton area before the April 30 deadline.

The two proposals under consideration for filling the new Gambrills-Area Elementary School (pictured at right) are:

1. The Recommendation of schools Superintendent Kevin M. Maxwell regarding the Gambrills-Area Elementary School includes redistricting a portion of the Piney Orchard Community to Four Seasons Elementary School, and redistricting of students not living in the community of Piney Orchard, but attending the Kiddie Academy, from Piney Orchard Elementary School to Four Seasons Elementary School.

2. The West Side of Route 3 Alternate Redistricting Proposal regarding the Gambrills-Area Elementary School includes reassignment of all kindergarten students living in the Piney Orchard Elementary boundary to Four Seasons Elementary, with those students returning to Piney Orchard Elementary School for grades 1-5; redistricting of Piney Orchard Elementary School students along North Patuxent Road to Odenton Elementary School; redistricting of Odenton Elementary School from “the ramp off of Highway 32, off Burns Crossing Road, East to Route 3” to Four Seasons Elementary School; redistricting of Waugh Chapel Elementary School from “Dairy Farm Road, East/Southeast to Route 3” to Four Seasons Elementary School; redistricting from Crofton Elementary School the area referred to as “East Walden” from Crofton Elementary School to Crofton Meadows Elementary School; and establishing boundaries for the new Gambrills-Area Elementary School to include the Walden and Chapman Farms.

I’m doing my best to keep up with this issue so you don’t have to.
