School board releases revised boundary map: Stevens zone gets smaller

Kids living near Volunteer Park are now in Lowell Elementary territory. The biggest change for Capitol Hill area schools in the district's revised boundary maps released this afternoon is the lopping off of a finger of land around Volunteer Park from the Stevens Elementary zone. That area is now in Lowell Territory. Here is the revised map and, below it, the original proposed update that was released in October.

The full-city revised map is attached to this post. No explanation for the change was included in the 'change request overview' document provided by the school board. We'll give them a call tomorrow to ask them about the change.

revision explanation
This is what the schools site says about changes to boundaries within the Washington MS service area (which includes Lowell and Stevens):

"create a more north-south alignment for the Lowell attendance area, and enable more students to walk elementary schools within this attendance area"

Thanks. I missed that. Was searching for Stevens when I should have been looking for Lowell. Thanks much.

We're just happy that they kept the southern boundary so far south so that our son gets to go to school with his older sister without having to worry about sibling grandfathering.
