  4. Choice Pattern • When opening new elementary schools in the past few years, it resulted in the zone having 6 schools • Makes transportation more difficult • Following a similar pattern as Zones 7 and 8, Zone 1 will be divided into ‘Blue’ and ‘Green’ Sections • Opportunity to limit overcrowding at Caleb’s Creek • Current students and siblings who are ‘grandfathered’ will receive transportation until the oldest student in that family completes the grade span • AR 5117.2.III.A.1.d
