Where will the boundary lines be drawn for the new West Towson Elementary?  How will your child be affected?

Baltimore County school officials have scheduled a January 6 public input meeting to review and comment on three options being presented by a committee of parents, community leaders, teachers and administrators.

This is your chance to have a say in where the lines are drawn.  Parents are urged to attend.  You should not assume that your child will stay in his or her existing school until a final plan is approved by the Board of Education. The West Towson Boundary Committee has been working throughout the fall, analyzing enrollment data and projections, and formulating possible scenarios.  If you miss this meeting, you miss a chance to have your voice heard.

Wednesday, January 6, 2010,  7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
(Snow Date: Thursday, January 7)

Loch Raven High School
1212 Cowpens Avenue, Towson 

Based on this public input, the process will then continue as follows:

 •    Tuesday, February 9, 2010, 7:00 pm, Greenwood Campus ESS Building, Board of Education Regular Meeting:  The Central Area Superintendent will recommend a boundary scenario to the Board of Education.
