end
Suggested Action:

end
Summary Background:
PGCPS launched the Comprehensive School Boundary Initiative in the Fall of 2020 to provide an impartial analysis of current school boundaries, feeder patterns and program locations and to develop scenarios to take full advantage of new and expanded schools and balance school facility utilizations throughout Prince George’s County. This initiative also allows for community input on the various scenarios proposed changing the boundaries for Elementary, Middle and High Schools.
There are various scenarios in the Boundary Initiative that will negatively and positively impact Hyattsville PGCPS families and children that should be communicated to Dr. Goldson and Board Members for consideration as final decisions are being made.
Next Steps:
Upon approval, the letter will be drafted and sent.
