The Board of Trustees approved the student assignment plan for the new Reedy Laurel Elementary and other schools on Oct. 22, 2024, according to the district’s board summary. The district’s assignment plan page says the plan made 24 boundary changes and moved about 900 students, about 600 of them to Reedy Laurel. Elementary changes fill in one grade a year starting with kindergarten in 2025-26, so for now some streets are zoned to one school for the lower grades and another for the upper grades. The district’s Reedy Laurel packet lists Augusta Circle Elementary among the affected schools, no net change in students based on 2023-24 enrollment.
