7) OPEN ENROLL LOCAL STUDENTS!

Students resident in Lancaster itself should not be restricted by elementary school "attendance zones".

Any student from neighboring communities may choose to enroll in any Lancaster ISD campus. Make this policy for locally resident students as well.

Each campus in LISD has unique strengths. Houston Elementary has the newest facility. West Main, the most experienced teaching staff. Pleasant Run has it's wonderful International Baccalaurete program. Lancaster Elementary has the biggest athletic / recreational space. At present, a student is enrolled in a Lancaster school not by choice but by accident of residence. By allowing parents and student freedom to choose among the various schools, all the campuses would benefit from the health competition.
