Prince George’s County Public Schools in Maryland has unveiled proposed boundary changes aimed at tackling the massive increase in enrollment in recent years, with more growth expected soon.
Since 2014, the school system has added some 11,000 students to classrooms around the county, and leaders expect another 7,000 students to enter the school system in the coming years.
The county published a map laying out the current boundaries for elementary and middle schools, as well as the proposed changes, should the board of education approve them.
