District 47 Boundary Change Approved; Some Students to Switch Schools Next Year

About 50 students will be affected by the change, according to the Northwest Herald.

About 38 children living in the Lake in the Hills "Presidential" neighborhood will switch elementary schools next year under boundary changes approved Monday night by the District 47 School Board, according to the Northwest Herald.

The students currently attend Canterbury Elementary School, 875 Canterbury Dr., Crystal Lake, which is overcrowded, the story said.

Next year they will attend Indian Prairie School, which is located at 651 Village Road on the south side of Crystal Lake and is much closer to Presidential neighborhood - an older part of LITH with streets named after U.S. presidents. The neighborhood is located northeast of Randall and Miller roads near the LITH Fen.
