The committee charged with considering boundary change options for the new Northeast-area elementary school community will host a public information session to share options for revised attendance boundaries.

Meeting attendees will learn about the boundary change process, review data used to develop the options, and speak directly to committee members. The options for revised attendance areas will be shared online, and all members of the public are invited to participate in an online survey.

The online survey will begin on Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2017, and end at midnight on Wednesday, Nov. 8, 2017.

The public input meeting will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2017, from 7 to 8 p.m. at Perry Hall High School, located at 4601 Ebenezer Road in Perry Hall.

The Northeast Area community boundary review/change process involves the following elementary schools: Carney, Chapel Hill, Gunpowder, Joppa View, Kingsville, Oakleigh, Perry Hall, Seven Oaks, and Vincent Farm.

With the support of the Board of Education of Baltimore County, Baltimore County government, and the state delegation, Baltimore County Public Schools is in the midst of a $1.3 billion capital plan, Schools for Our Future. This initiative will add seats to address increasing enrollment and improve existing facilities.

The construction of a new Northeast-area elementary school is underway, and the school is scheduled to open in September 2018. Since Sept. 6, 2017, a committee of parents, community members, school officials, and representatives of the new Northeast area elementary school community has reviewed a variety of boundary options.

The committee will use input from the public information session and from the online survey to help make a boundary change recommendation to the Board of Education on Feb. 6, 2018.
