GRANDFATHERING AND SIBLING ATTENDANCE PLAN Students not meeting the criteria will forfeit their out-of-zone status and be reassigned to their zoned school or another MCS school as determined by the district. Students attending an out-of-zone school have to meet specific criteria to maintain the out-of-zone privilege. Grandfathered and sibling students will require an “Out-of-Zone Waiver” form to be filled out each year to go through the out-of-zone evaluation process. OUT-OF-ZONE RULE: (Applies to all students grandfathering or following a sibling) Proposed Open Zone Schools: Bradley, Erma Siegel, Hobgood, John Pittard, Mitchell-Neilson, Northfield, Reeves-Rogers. These students may apply for a zone waiver at another open-zone MCS school with available space that is accepting waivers. Rising in-city 5 th and 6 th grade students and rising out-of-city 5 th graders on zone waivers will follow the grandfathering rule outlined above. Salem, Overall Creek, Cason Lane, Black Fox, and Scales will be considered closed zone schools and will not accept or renew any out-of-city waivers for the 2022-2023 school year unless it is attached to MCS employment. No transportation service will be available for this option if they remain out-of-zone under the sibling rule. The younger siblings can remain in the grandfathered school as long as the grandfathered student remains at the school and MCS has the type of class offered to appropriately educate the student. Younger siblings who have a sibling taking advantage of the grandfathering option can attend the grandfathered school along with the sibling as long as both were in the school when this zoning plan was implemented (2022-2023). This ensures the district is not moving a student to more than 2 schools during their elementary years. For Salem Elementary, the grandfathering rule would apply to rising 4 th, 5 th, and 6 th graders who reside in the city limits. Students can complete their elementary schooling at the school if they can provide their own transportation and if MCS has the type of class offered to appropriately educate the student. If they remain in their current school, no transportation service would be available for this option.
