School attendance zones may change as new WCPS school opens in 2027

Two public hearings are planned for 6 p.m. May 13 and May 14 at the Center for Education Services, 10435 Downsville Pike, Hagerstown. Following the hearings, the Board of Education may vote at a public business meeting May 19 or June 16. The redistricting is driven by the planned closure of two of the county’s oldest elementary schools — Hickory Elementary and Fountain Rock Elementary — which are expected to close at the end of the 2026-27 school year. Downsville Pike Elementary School is being built to replace them. https://www.heraldmailmedia.com/story/news/local/2026/05/08/washington-county-schools-weigh-redistricting-plans/89991569007/?link_source=ta_first_comment&taid=69fdfa96b4e9410001668d5d&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwdGRjcARq26FjbGNrBGra4WV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHnkT29fNO5kRF1OVttvoOiwr0H3k7xzbNBCORIqh59wo7bat3GpxKeQuyla8_aem_0Xbc0OISeJrrtD0bm7_R_Q
