It would be the first time in at least 10 years residents would be allowed some choice as to where their children attend elementary school elementary school: see school. , Superintendent Marc Winger said. ``We've pretty much had it locked up all this time,'' he said. ``It'll be on a seat-availability basis and available in a limited number of schools.''

The key is space and availability.'' The move could be the first step in allowing open enrollment at all Newhall campuses as the district completes its expansion plans and residents transition into their new attendance zones, Winger said. ``In two years, we'll be much more open,'' he said. ``We would have sorted out all the kids we have just moved. Things will calm down.'' |
