     CCPS has experienced an upward attendance trend in recent years that is resulting in overcrowding of certain schools.  The goal is to balance enrollment so that no school is over capacity.

  2. WHAT IS THE EXTENT OF ENROLLMENT BALANCING AT THIS TIME?
    Three selected schools will have attendance zones redrawn at this time.  These schools are Morrow HS, N Clayton HS, and King ES.  Some feeder schools may also be impacted.

    Morrow HS and King ES are currently experiencing the most acute overcrowding.  N Clayton HS has significant available capacity.

  4. WILL THERE BE FUTURE ENROLLMENT BALANCING?  IF SO, WHEN?
