Board approves minor elementary boundary change; officials say no students affected

The Big Walnut Local Schools Board of Education approved a change to elementary attendance boundaries from PRE to BWE at its June 26 meeting, and district officials said the adjustment will not affect student assignments.

Board members moved and seconded the recommendation to change the boundary as illustrated in the meeting packet; the motion passed on a roll call vote. When asked whether the change altered assignments, a district official responded, ‘‘No impact to students.’’

Board members and staff noted the change matched what had been discussed at an earlier meeting and that there were no new impacts to families. The item was presented as a single-page recommendation with an accompanying illustration in the meeting materials; no additional implementation steps or timeline were discussed during the meeting.
