The first of two public meetings about school boundary changes for Yorkshire Elementary School is set for Mon-day.
A replacement school for Yorkshire, at 7610 Old Centreville Road in the Manassas area, is scheduled to open in Spring 2009.
Yorkshire, one of the county's oldest school buildings, was built in 1952.
The new, larger Yorkshire Elementary is intended to relieve overcrowding at Yorkshire and Signal Hill elementary schools, school officials said.
When completed, the two-story building will look much like Fitzgerald Elementary School, a new school that opened in the Dale City area this year.
The plan currently being considered by the boundary planning committee, made up of parent volunteers, would affect only those two schools.
The committee's first public meeting is scheduled for Monday at 7 p.m. at Yorkshire Elementary.
A second meeting is set for Dec. 8 at Signal Hill Elementary, 9553 Birmingham Drive in Manassas.
The School Board will hold a public hearing on the boundary changes and is expected to vote in January.
For more information, or to make comments about the boundaries, call David Beavers, the school division's supervisor of planning and financial services, at 703-791-7312 or e-mail beaversd@pwcs.edu.
Staff writer Amanda Stewart can be reached at 703-878-8014.
