Q7. What's going on with school zoning? Why are we being rezoned?

A7. Kennedy a middle school (grade 6 to 9) is over crowded. The capacity is 1,300 and they presently have 1,700. The plan is to turn Collins Middle School into an over flow school. The boundaries to determine which kids go where is being decided by the school district.

Some talk indicates that all of Oakdell Ranch is going to Collins Middle School. Monta Vista would remain our High School.
