EL PASO, Texas —
Students living in certain neighborhoods will have to go to certain schools.
E.P.I.S.D will hold four public meetings to get input from the community before it decides to redraw these boundaries.
The district will have to create new boundaries for three new Westside schools and in turn it will have to adjust the boundaries already set for Bond, Guerrero, Kohlberg, Polk, Roberts and Tippin elementary schools.
The district will also have to decide on dividing attendance between Brown Middle School and the new Hornedo Middle School.
The new schools are being built to alleviate current overcrowding. Some parents worry their children will have to be separated from friends and teachers.
"You know, their friends are going to go to one school and they are going to have to separate, so I can see the conflict," said Ana Flores.
District administrators said they will keep students together from elementary to high school and the teachers will move to the news schools with students.
Wednesday the first of four meetings will be held Polk Elementary at 6:30 p.m. There will be another meeting Thursday at 6 p.m. at Bond Elementary and 6:30 p.m. at Tippin Elementary. Monday Nov. 3 there will be a meeting at Roberts Elementary at 6:30 p.m. The boundary changes will not go into effect until the new school are opened.
