Geneva committee updates student-assignment policy to reflect balanced-enrollment middle-school model
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Barrett told the committee that middle schools in Geneva CUSD 304 do not have discrete attendance zones and that the policy was updated to reflect the district's balanced-enrollment student-assignment practice.
The Geneva CUSD 304 policy committee reviewed and forwarded a policy amendment clarifying student assignment at the middle-school level, explicitly reflecting the district's balanced-enrollment model.
Dr. Barrett, the superintendent, explained the change: Geneva's middle schools do not use single-school attendance areas; instead, "our designated attendance area for each middle school is the whole district," and students are assigned through a balancing process, he said. Members noted the prior policy did not describe that practice and that updating the language should reduce confusion when parents consult district policy.
Committee members said the rewritten text makes practice consistent with policy and reduces the chance people reading the policy would be misled about how assignments work in Geneva CUSD 304.
