Board initiates boundary‑change process for area between Horizon and Washington elementary schools
Summary
The board voted to initiate a boundary change moving a recently developed housing pocket from Horizon Elementary to Washington Elementary; motion carried. Staff said about 20 new homes prompted the move and that there are currently no students living in the area aside from one kindergarten registrant.
On April 28 the Washington County School District board voted to initiate the boundary‑change process that would move a small recently developed area near Telegraph Road from Horizon Elementary to Washington Elementary.
Staff described the parcel as a new housing pocket of roughly 20 homes built near Telegraph Road that previously had been within Horizon Elementary’s attendance area. Presenters said no students currently live in the newly built homes, though one student is registered for kindergarten next year. Staff said the move is intended to "get ahead" of enrollment patterns as the neighborhood builds out.
Member Staley made the motion to initiate the boundary change; a second was recorded but not named in the discussion. The chair called for all in favor, and the motion carried. The board did not adopt a final boundary ordinance at the working session; the motion was to initiate the public boundary‑change process and give staff direction to proceed with the required steps.
Next steps discussed included formal initiation of the boundary‑change process, notification to affected families and the public hearing and review stages required by district practice. Staff did not provide a final map adoption date at the working session.
