Coatesville Area School District is preparing to shutter two elementary schools — Caln and East Fallowfield — at the end of the school year, open a new one, and realign its attendance boundaries. The new Doe Run Elementary — which will open in August on the former South Brandywine Middle School site — will feed to Scott Middle School. The new boundary map, approved by the school board, splits the district into four geographic regions, intended to keep communities together while maintaining ethnic and socio-economic balance, according to the district’s presentation. The update, slated to take effect next school year, comes as the district has been rolling out a new facilities plan over the past several years, while its enrollment has declined and its budget has been squeezed by charter schools.
