Agenda Item #40
Title
MODIFICATION OF ATTENDANCE ZONES
Description
Pursuant to School Board Policies 5.20 and 7.78, a Boundary Advisory Committee was formed in September of 2011 to study the enrollment gaps between Heron Creek and Woodland Middle Schools, and to recommend possible actions. The BAC presented a recommendation at the Board's December 6, 2011, Work Session. On January 3, 2012, the Board voted to advertise the proposal. The Board held a Public Hearing in North Port on January 17, 2012. The proposal would move about 185 students to Woodland from the Heron Creek zone.
Recommendation
That the School Board modify the attendance zones for Heron Creek and Woodland Middle Schools as presented in the attached Walking Descriptions, becoming effective June 5, 2012, grandfathering currently enrolled Heron Creek 7th grade students for the opportunity to remain there without transportation, and allowing such students' current 5th and 6th grade siblings to attend with them, also without transportation.
