Parents, students and community members can have their voices heard.

Proposed changes include boundary concerns at Kingsford, Highland Park, Yorktown and Waldon Woods elementary schools; discussing the possibility of shifting sixth grade into middle schools; adjusting boundaries for specialty programs; ensuring that all students in a neighborhood attend the same schools; and the creation of two elementary dedicated TAG centers at Heather Hills and Glenarden Woods.
