53. APPROVAL TO ADVERTISE PROPOSED ATTENDANCE ZONE CHANGES FOR HERON CREEK AND WOODLAND MIDDLE SCHOOLSDescription
In September of 2011 Superintendent White authorized the formation of a Boundary Advisory Committee to recommend changes to the attendance zones for Heron Creek and Woodland Middle Schools due to the imbalance in enrollments in North Port's middle schools. The committee of principals, SAC chairs, teachers, and parents is proposing a redistricting that would affect approximately 185 students beginning in the 2012-13 school year; rising Heron Creek 8th graders and their rising 6th and 7th grade siblings would be allowed to remain, with no transportation provided. A map of the proposed boundaries and the walking descriptions are attached.
Recommendation
That the School Board authorize the advertisement of proposed boundary changes, with specified grandfathering criteria, for Heron Creek and Woodland Middle Schools for the 2012-13 school year, as presented.
