The Seattle School Board will discuss their plans to change the way students are assigned to schools on Wednesday (4/8).  This could have a big impact on Queen Anne and Magnolia students who want to attend Ballard High School.

The new attendance boundary lines have not been drawn yet but concerned parents are watching closely.  Under the new plan, students would be assigned a spot, based on their home address, at a nearby elementary, middle and high school. They could try for one of a few other options but still be assured a space at their assigned school.

Students who now live close to Ballard High can count on going there. But some worry new boundaries may leave out those who live just north of the school, yet include Queen Anne, where there is no high school. 

The school board will discuss the plan on Wednesday with a vote set for later this month.  The changes would be implemented in the fall of 2010.
