Public information session set on boundary study for Overlea High School overcrowding

OVERLEA, Md. — Baltimore County Public Schools will host a public information session on Wednesday, Nov. 18, to present draft boundary options aimed at relieving overcrowding at Overlea High School.

The session, scheduled from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Nottingham Middle School in Rosedale, will allow community members to review committee proposals designed to balance enrollment across Overlea, Loch Raven, and Parkville high schools.

Organizers said the meeting will open with a presentation on the committee’s work, followed by an informal format where attendees can talk one-on-one with committee members to ask questions and share feedback.

The event will also be livestreamed on BCPS-TV’s YouTube channel. Virtual viewers will have access to an online chat feature to ask questions and receive answers during the broadcast.

In addition to the meeting, the school system will open an online public survey running from Nov. 18 through Dec. 16 to gather community input on the draft options.

Any boundary adjustments recommended by the committee and approved by the Board of Education of Baltimore County would take effect for the 2027-2028 school year.

The committee previously held study meetings in October and early November. Additional work sessions are scheduled for Jan. 6 and, if needed, Jan. 13 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Nottingham Middle School.

All committee meetings remain open to the public for observation, with meeting materials and livestream access available on the school district’s website.
