If my area redistricts schools can I still get in a school?
We bought specifically to be in a good school district. My kids are young and now they are talking about redistricting, and we'd be in a different highschool by the time my kids are old enough. What can I do if I don't want to move?

Hello! This question could be answered so differently for each school district. To get the most accurate advice you would need to contact your local school superintendent and have this discussion. In most sought-after school districts it may be quite difficult to petition the school to allow your children to attend.

We have experienced much success in petitioning the school for access based on availability. Depending on availability most schools reserve a certain number of exceptions for students that may need to attend due to overcrowding in other areas. This is probably why they redrew the lines anyway.

The best option is to talk to the school district. Here in Memphis/Germantown TN they will allow a certain amount of transfer students.
