Not sure why the change other than other districts like: Collinsville & Edwardsville, are like this, as I'm sure other districts are too. It's real common in the school districts to have a intermediate (5th/6th) grades and a middle school (7th/8th) in different buildings. Last time the messed with switching buildings was when my oldest was in 2nd grade and now she is a senior. I thought that was horrible, but it turned out to be good. The transportation side will be hectic, but I'm sure they are going to have that all figured out beforehand.
