Board Approves Crofton School Redistricting

The Anne Arundel County Board of Education has approved a redistricting plan that would shift student populations from Nantucket to Crofton Meadows elementary schools. 

The bulk of the plan, which was crafted by a committee of parents and endorsed by Superintendent Kevin Maxwell, will go into effect for the 2014-15 school year. 

The plan was designed to address overcrowding at Nantucket Elementary. 

The main provisions of the plan are as follows:

• Students living in the area of Chelmsford Drive and Johns Hopkins Drive will shift from Nantucket Elementary to Crofton Meadows Elementary. 
• The current undeveloped area south of Chelmsford Drive and east of Underwood Road would be moved from the Crofton Elementary area to that serving Crofton Meadows Elementary. 
• Students living in the future community of Wilson’s Grove (formerly The Enclave at Riedel Pond) will shift from Crofton Meadows to Nantucket. 
• Students living in the Walden Drive area will shift from Nantucket Elementary to Crofton Elementary. (This will go into effect for the 2015-16 school year.)
