Student Continuation Plan

On January 23, 2006 the Board of Education adopted the Student Continuation Plan.

There are two purposes of this plan: First, to enable elementary school students to stay and finish at the school where they first enroll, provided their parents don’t move. Second is to address future crowding in a way that eliminates the need for redistricting or requiring entire neighborhoods of students to change schools as has been done in the past. The general approach of this plan is to arrange elementary schools into groups and establish guidelines so that when a school becomes overcrowded, new students are assigned to an identified alternate school. It does allow students to finish at the school where they begin unless they move out of the primary area of the school. Guidelines were designed to address all schools, but the plan does not significantly impact the normal registration of the majority of students who are not at overcrowded schools.

The map and neighborhood charts identify the primary school and the four alternate schools for every area in Lexington. The primary school is the same one that is already noted in maps below and in the street directory. The Street Directory will also be updated in the near future to show the four alternate schools as well.
