WESTMINSTER : School Attendance Boundaries Changed
Westminster School District officials last week approved attendance boundaries for Finley Elementary School, which will reopen next fall to reduce overcrowding at two other schools.
The boundary changes will affect about 200 students at both Fay Fryberger and Sequoia elementary schools who will transfer to Finley and about 80 students at Ray M. Schmitt Elementary School who will transfer to Fryberger, district officials said.
The district based the new boundaries on current and projected enrollments, recent boundary changes and busing considerations.
Finley was closed in the 1970s because of declining enrollment and had been leased by Coastline Community College.
The school will be reopened because the district now has 8,500 students, with a heavy concentration of them living in the district’s northern corridor, west of Westminster Boulevard.
Finley, which will be the district’s 17th school, is expected to accommodate about 400 students from that area.
