To boost diversity and address enrollment issues, Brooklyn’s District 15 may redraw elementary attendance zones
On the heels of sweeping admissions changes aimed at integrating middle schools, District 15 in Brooklyn could soon redraw elementary school attendance boundaries as well.
The education department is floating possible zone changes that could affect which students attend seven schools in the northwest corner of the district, including some of the area’s most sought-after, such as P.S. 29 and P.S. 58.
The aim is to even out enrollment across campuses, some of which are currently overcrowded and some of which are under-enrolled — and also to boost student diversity in a deeply segregated district.
