Walk zones change for the 2026-27 school year
What happened
On June 11, 2026 the board received a 'Walk Zone Update Effective SY 2026-27' as a monitoring item. Walk zones are the areas close enough to a school that students are expected to walk rather than ride a bus, so they decide which addresses get school transportation. The official record does not state which zones changed.
Why it matters to families
If a family's address moves into a walk zone, the school bus stops coming, and getting to school becomes a daily problem to solve. Families near a boundary should check the new zones before the year starts.
