District documents state two grandfather options are included in this recommendation.
With the first, students in homes east of I-35 and north of Old Justin would be allowed to go to Jane Ruestmann Elementary or select a one-time grandfather to remain at Hilltop Elementary until a new rezone happens or the family vacates the property. Families living in houses on the following streets will have that option:
- C. Taylor Road
- Knob Hill Court
- John Wells Court
- Cimarron Court
- Surrey Lane
- Skyline Drive
- Valley View Court
- Sunset Court
- Skyridge Drive
- One home on Crawford Road
The second grandfather option allows students who live in houses immediately across the street from West Elementary to attend Jane Ruestmann Elementary or remain at West Elementary until a new rezone happens or the family vacates the property at the address. Houses include those on the following streets:
- Homes on the east side of Sunflower to the south side of 16th Street to the west side of Harvest Way
- Trellis Drive
- Stepping Stone Trail
What you need to knowFamilies and staff who may be affected by the rezoning will need to take action now and in the next few weeks. According to district documents, action items include:
- Prior to the break: Internal voluntary staffing transfer forms for teachers only will be sent out.
- Upon returning from the break: Families within the recommended grandfather areas will receive notification from the district with directions to complete their choice. Once the choice is made it cannot be reversed by the family.
- January-March: Staffing allocations for all campuses will be finalized.
- January-May: Principal Lauren Tullos will lead the staffing process and begin meeting with families and staff attending Jane Ruestmann Elementary.
