Redistricting Process - Phase 2

Redistricting Process Phase 2 Timeline

The second phase of Anne Arundel County Public Schools' comprehensive redistricting process began in February 2025 and culminate with a plan scheduled to be adopted by the Board of Education in November 2025.

 The plan will consider boundaries for schools in the Annapolis, Arundel, Broadneck, Crofton, Severna Park, South River, and Southern clusters. As it did in Phase 1 of the redistricting process, AACPS is working with WXY to examine enrollment patterns across the schools in the clusters.

 On July 23, 2025, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mark Bedell delivered two recommendations to the Board of Education. The following links provide information related to Dr. Bedell’s recommendations and the process:

The next steps in the process are as follows:

  • July 24, 2025: A webtool inclusive of an interactive map that allows for the input of addresses and the resulting school boundaries for those addresses, as well as a link to provide public comment, will be posted on this page.

  • August 18, 2025: The Board of Education will hold a public workshop on Dr. Bedell’s recommendations at 6 p.m. on Monday, August 18, in the Board Room of the Parham Building, located at 2644 Riva Road in Annapolis. The workshop is open to the public but no public comment or testimony will be taken. It is subject to the normal space limitations in the Board Room and will also be broadcast live on AACPS-TV and on AACPS’ YouTube channel.

  • September 5, 2025: The public comment portal found through the link found above on this page closes.

  • September 17, 2025: The Board will decide on a proposal or proposals to take forward to public hearing in order to solicit community input.

  • October 2025: AACPS staff will conduct a public briefing or briefings on the plan or plans the Board decides to take forward to public hearing. Following the briefings, the Board will conduct public hearings on those plans.
