MCPS Closures/ Boundary Studies Update

Our county is about to embark on an elementary boundary study which will comprise of two phases. Quick summary:

  • This year (2026-27) = decisions on which elementary/middle schools to close or consolidate
  • Next year (2027-28) = countywide boundary study
  • Two rounds of community engagement sessions this fall: *Round 1: Oct. 19–Nov. 2* and *Round 2: Nov. 30–Dec. 10* (both virtual and in-person options)

Our voice matters here — MCPS has said families will have real opportunities to weigh in on the data and factors used to make these decisions. Full schedule, locations, and details are HERE. Please try to attend a session or submit feedback if you can – the more parents engaged now, the better
