The Pennridge School Board approved an elementary school redistricting plan called "Scenario 6" to address projected overcrowding at Bedminster and Seylar elementary schools, which are expected to reach 90% and 99% capacity respectively by the 2030-2031 school year. The population growth in the schools was driven by the introduction of full-day kindergarten and new housing developments in the southern and western parts of the district. The plan will expand Sellersville Elementary's zone and shift some Seylar students to Deibler, among other changes. It was chosen over an alternative partly because it's projected to better balance the concentration of low-income students across schools, dropping Sellersville's lower socioeconomic enrollment from 37% to below 30%. While the district's overall elementary enrollment is expected to decline over the next decade, the redistricting aims to more evenly distribute students across buildings. Affected families will receive final zoning decisions by the end of April.
