Cheh proposes school boundary studies for D.C.

D.C. Councilwoman Mary Cheh introduced legislation Tuesday that would require the city to study public school boundaries, which haven’t been touched in decades.

The School Boundary Review Act, co-sponsored by Council Chairman Kwame Brown, would establish a commission to examine the boundaries and feeder-school patterns every 10 years. It provides protections for students already enrolled in school from being re-zoned to another, and grandfathers in students’ siblings.
