At its meeting on June 13, 2017, the Board of Education of Baltimore County (Board) approved new elementary school boundaries for schools in the northeast area of the county to help relieve persistent overcrowding among area elementary schools.

During this meeting, the Board modified the boundary committee’s recommended option D1.

Note regarding Vincent Farm ES:  Vincent Farm Elementary School will also be represented in the upcoming New Northeast Area Elementary School boundary process to begin in September and conclude in the spring of 2018. The approved option for the Victory Villa ES Boundary Study Process affected only the southern portion of Vincent Farm ES boundary.  The northern portion of the Vincent Farm ES boundary will likely be considered and recommended for change in the upcoming boundary study. Thus, the boundary change for Vincent Farm is not yet complete, but will be so at the conclusion of the next boundary study.

A map and data table of the approved boundary change, known as D1.A can be found at the links below:

Schools affected by the boundary change include:

• Victory Villa Elementary School
• Glenmar Elementary School
• Hawthorne Elementary School
• Martin Boulevard Elementary School
• Middlesex Elementary School
• Orems Elementary School
• Shady Spring Elementary School
• Vincent Farm Elementary School

Boundary Change Implementation
Students whose homes are zoned to a new school as a result of the boundary change decision will move when the new boundaries are effective for the 2018-2019 school year.
Families will be notified in March 2018 regarding how the new boundaries may affect them.
