KGO-TV reports that the school board has decided that in one area where homes are being built, students will not be assigned to a specific school so that the district has the flexibility to adjust enrollment and avoid or lessen crowding at campuses in growing areas. That means some students may be assigned to campuses far from their homes.
A representative of the Patterson Ranch development asked the board to assign the area to specific schools so that new homeowners with children would know where students would be attending classes.
The development is expected to add 500 homes to the district. In the original plan, the developer committed to building an elementary school, but has since backed out.
The board voted to keep the Patterson Ranch development as an unassigned attendance area.
