A Redistricting Committee, composed of school system officials, a representative from Calvert County Planning and Zoning, and one parent from each of the five affected elementary schools, prepared two possible redistricting plans. The two options were presented to the Board of Education at their work session on January 10, 2008. Based on comments from the public, the Board of Education may make modifications prior to the adoption of a final plan in March 2008.

The elementary schools that will be affected are Calvert, Huntingtown, Mutual, Plum Point and St. Leonard.
