The Wichita Board of Education voted Monday night to approve a boundary change for Southeast High School that will move some students into the district for Heights High School.
The change will be effective for the 2023-24 school year. The move is being made to address overcrowding at Southeast, with more growth expected in the district in the coming years. Board members consider this to be a short-term solution and they are looking to have a permanent plan ready for the 24-25 school year.
Students who already attend Southeast will not have to transfer. Incoming freshmen in the 23-24 school year who live in the area affected by the boundary change will have to attend Heights. The change is for the boundary that feeds into Coleman Middle School from Adams, College Hill, Jackson, and Price-Harris elementary schools.
