Wicomico Schools Boundary Study: Draft Options to be Shared with the Public Nov. 21st, Feedback Open Until Dec. 9th
The 2024-2025 school boundary study process for Wicomico County Public Schools is now at the halfway point, and the next opportunity to attend a public meeting and review two draft options for boundary changes is this Thursday, Nov. 21st. Two public information meetings will be held. At those meetings, the draft boundary changes will be reviewed and displayed on maps. The boundary study process focuses on elementary school attendance areas, and related secondary school feeder patterns, to see where adjustments might help balance enrollment and relieve overcrowding.
The times and locations of the public information meetings will be:
- 4 p.m. at Salisbury Middle School
- 6 p.m. at Prince Street Elementary School.聽The meeting at Prince Street will have Spanish and Haitian Creole interpreters available, and this meeting will also be livestreamed and recorded for later viewing.

Following the meetings this Thursday, an online survey will be open through Dec. 9th to gather feedback on the two draft options. Links to the surveys will be available starting Thursday evening.
