The Coeur d'Alene School District Board of Trustees approved Monday night a halt on new out-of-district transfers, while other groups were grandfathered in and will remain at schools in the district. The move took place at the board's regular meeting, which featured a series of decisions related to addressing overcrowding at schools in the Coeur d'Alene School District. Decisions were also made regarding Hayden Elementary School, adding portables to existing campuses with affected enrollment, and attendance zone changes for the district's elementary and middle schools. Prior to the decisions, trustees heard several impassioned testimonies from parents whose children attend Coeur d'Alene schools through its out-of-district transfer program. Susan Schroeder, a Rathdrum resident whose child goes to Sorensen Magent School of the Arts and Humanities, spoke to the board about her love of the school and being a part of the educational community/Keith Cousins, Coeur d'Alene Press.
