School Board to Settle Boundaries Issue
The San Bruno Park School District board on Wednesday will consider a committee's recommendation to maintain existing attendance boundaries and transfer policies.
The San Bruno Park School District Board of Trustees on Wednesday could once and for all settle the debate over adjusting elementary school boundaries when sixth graders move to Parkside Intermediate next school year.
The District Development Advisory Committee has recommended keeping elementary school attendance boundaries and transfer policies the same, but the board will have the final say.
About 280 students and their teachers are expected to be added to the city’s only public middle school. That, in turn, will mean the seven elementary schools will have fewer students.

But instead of adjusting district boundaries to make sure the elementary schools receive an equal share of students, the committee by a 5-2 vote (three members abstained and one was absent) recommended not changing anything.
Their reasoning: there is already enough change coming with sixth graders moving, and the board can always give it a year and see how it shakes out.
