Chief Operating Office of Harrisonburg City Public Schools, Shawn Printz, said they will keep looking at and providing numbers before making any decisions, however, they will have to move two Pre-K classes from Keister Elementary to Bluestone Elementary.

Superintendent Dr. Michael Richards said more information will be brought to their next meeting in June but there isn’t a timeline on when they will consider voting for the rezone.
