The College Station school board has voted to change high school boundaries.
The unanimous vote combines option 2-B and the Margraves development and east Wellborn.
The board took a break, then instead of adjourning the governing body approved the administration’s grandfathering recommendation for ninth and tenth graders.
The board’s vote on grandfathering was 5-2. Michael Nugent and Michael Schaefer both supported grandfathering this year’s eighth graders, something that was also sought by some parents of current and future College Station high school students.

Additional information from CSISD:
At its April 19 workshop, the CSISD Board of Trustees unanimously voted to approved the following attendance zones for A&M Consolidated High School and College Station High School. The attendance zones will take effect in the 2019-2020 school year.
In addition, the board voted 5-2 to allow current ninth and 10th graders (juniors and seniors in 2019-2020) to remain at their current school when the attendance zones go into effect in 2019-2020.
Current eighth graders (sophomores in 2019-2020) whose high school attendance zones are changing will have two options:
Attend the campus they are currently zoned to in 2018-2019 for their freshman year and transition to the new campus when they are sophomores in 2019-2020.
Transfer a year early to the school to which they will ultimately be zoned.
For example: If a current eighth grader resides in the current CSHS attendance zone, but will be zoned to AMCHS when the attendance boundaries take effect in 2019-2020, he or she may opt to transfer to AMCHS as a freshman in 2018-2019
