What would it have meant for 4J students who live within this area?
- At the elementary school level, students currently enrolled could have:
- Attended the newly assigned neighborhood school, Parker Elementary, with bus transportation provided.
- Continued attending their current neighborhood school, Adams Elementary, with no bus transportation provided.
- Continued attending any other school the student had transferred to through the school choice process. Parents would continue to provide transportation.
- Students new to the area or starting school would have been assigned to the new neighborhood school. Students who wished to attend a different school would need to apply for a transfer through the school choice process.
