Topic: Buffer Zones - a Tool to Address Lexington's Growing
Enrollment
With enrollment rising by 690 students since 2008, Lexington’s current rate of student growth will require flexibility to adequately meet the urgent space capacity and operational demands of the school district. One approach to help address growing school enrollment has been the development of a NEW buffer zone policy by the Lexington School Committee. Although this is a new concept for Lexington, buffer zones are a tool successfully used in neighboring communities to help balance enrollment across schools while maintaining educational equity. This change would potentially affect the school assignment of students NEW to Lexington while taking into account existing building capacity. No students currently enrolled would be affected.
Join us for a panel discussion including School Committee
members Judy Crocker, Eileen Jay; Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Mary
Czajkowski, Director of Planning and Assessment, Maureen Kavanaugh and Special
Assistant to the Superintendent, Sandra Trach, to discuss the development of a
NEW buffer zone policy by the Lexington School Committee.
