Just a reminder, the Seattle School Board is voting on the new student assignment boundaries today, Wednesday, November 18. As part of the Student Assignment Plan approved back in June, the district was given the green light to redraw boundaries around each school based on addresses rather than preference.

Before the final vote, the Board will heard public comment on the assignment plan from 13 community members, including one Franklin student. Get the agenda here (.pdf). View the recommended motion from the Seattle Public School Staff here (.pdf), and the proposed amendments to the plan, which will also be voted, here (.pdf). The School Board meeting starts at 6 p.m. in the auditorium of the John Stanford Center, located at 2445 3rd Avenue South.

Under this new plan all Queen Anne and Magnolia students would be assigned to Ballard High School, and Old Hay would be reopened as a K-12 Montessori option school. There would be no more district-wide open enrollment, and students would instead be assigned to schools based on where they lived. If you looked at a prior version of the plan, be sure to check the most updated draft (.pdf), as some of the elementary school assignments in Queen Anne have changed.
