In the news lately...
- Harrisonburg is building a second high school.
- South River Elementary School students might move from the Spotswood High School district to the East Rockingham High School district.
- Rockingham County might close Linville Edom Elementary School.
There are a few more possible changes in Rockingham County, but the above is a sampling of possible changes. Read about the plans for change in Rockingham County Public Schools
here.
All of this is to say that if you are buying a home, and one of the critical factors is whether it is in school district X or school district Y, then we'll likely want to check to see if you are in an area that might be affected by changes that are currently being discussed -- AND -- you should know that further changes in school districts could take place before your sweet little Johnny (currently 2 months old) is old enough to go to high school.
As a random side note, the Rockingham County school district map (shown above) downloadable
here does not appear to have chnaged in the past nine years! So, I suppose change had to happen eventually...
