At the January 25, 2016, Board of Education meeting, administrators recommended attendance area adjustments to ease overcrowding at two elementary schools. The proposal calls for approximately 180 students who live in Ashton Pointe, Brittany Springs, and Carrolwood and who attend Brooks and May Watts Elementary Schools to be reassigned.
Three subdivisions under construction, Station Boulevard Apartments, Metro 59 Apartments, and Union Square Townhomes also would be assigned new elementary schools. Atwater subdivision is also under construction. In 2014, the Board of Education assigned Steck Elementary as the attendance area for this new development.
If approved, the elementary school adjustments would begin with the 2016-17 school year. Fifth graders in 2016-17 will have the option to stay at their current school.
There will be no changes to current middle or high school assignments.
The Board of Education is currently reviewing the proposed adjustments and is expected to vote on the recommendation February 16, 2016. If approved, school officials will further communicate directly with their parent communities to make the transition as seamless as possible.
Questions and comments on the proposal can be sent to 204-enews@ipsd.org.
