ANNAPOLIS, Md. — After nine months, the Anne Arundel County Board of Education finally approved a new redistricting plan.
On Wednesday the Board settled on shifting about 750 students to different schools by the 2026-2027 academic year.
A total of 19 schools will be rezoned, including 13 Elementary, three high, and three middle.
The plan decreases the number of overcrowded schools in the district from 7 to one.
