During the Tuesday, September 22, 2009 Board Meeting, the Parkland school administrators presented new boundary lines for five of Parkland’s seven elementary schools which will go into effect when the new Fred J. Jaindl Elementary School opens in September 2010.

 The Fred J. Jaindl Elementary School will be the District’s 8^th elementary school and will serve the Southwest corner of the District.  About 435 students who currently attend Fogelsville Elementary School will be re-assigned to the new school.  In order to balance enrollment between schools, some students who currently attend Parkway Manor and Cetronia Elementary Schools will be re-assigned to attend Fogelsville.  To balance the attendance in the northern part of the district, some students who currently attend Kernsville Elementary School will be reassigned to Schnecksville Elementary School.  The students and boundaries that are currently in place for Ironton and Kratzer Elementary Schools will not be affected.  Parkland has two middle schools and one high school, and boundaries for these buildings will not be affected by the new elementary sending areas.
