Some Vilseck, Grafenwöhr kids likely to switch schools

GRAFENWÖHR, Germany — Children who live on the border of school districts that separate Vilseck and Grafenwöhr will likely have to change elementary schools next year as the garrison adjusts to a rapid population influx.

U.S. Army Garrison Grafenwöhr commander Col. Brian Boyle told parents about the looming school district changes at a recent town hall meeting.

The districts are changing because the garrison will open a third elementary school along with a new middle school at Netzaberg for the next school year. Boyle said Friday that elementary school kids from Netzaberg, Kaltenbrunn and Steinfels military housing areas will be affected by the boundary changes.

Some Netzaberg kids, who bus to Vilseck Elementary School because there is no space for them at Grafenwöhr, will walk to the new Netzaberg Elementary School next year.

And kids from Kaltenbrunn and Steinfels, who attend Grafenwöhr Elementary School, must register for Vilseck for the next school year, he said.
