Discussion

At the School Board Workshop on September 8, 2022, two potential attendance boundary changes were presented to the Board for review and discussion. A third potential attendance boundary change was presented at the October 11, 2022 School Board Workshop. The reason for each of the proposed changes is to adjust the boundaries to coincide with new subdivision boundary lines.

These boundary changes would be effective for the 2023-2024 school year. No special considerations are proposed at this time.

The candidate boundary change proposals are:

  • Eau Gallie High School to Viera High School
    • The intent of this proposal is to amend the attendance boundary to include all of the developing neighborhood, Pangea Park, into the same school. Currently, no students are affected by this proposed change.
  • DeLaura Middle School to Johnson Middle School
    • The purpose of this change is to amend the school attendance boundary to coincide with new subdivision boundary lines. No students are affected. The existing homes are located within an age-restricted neighborhood.
  • Southwest Middle School to Stone Magnet Middle School
    • The purpose of this proposal is to amend the boundary of Stone Magnet Middle School to include all of the developing neighborhood, Crystal Bay. The subdivision is primarily located in the Stone Magnet Middle School attendance boundary, except for approximately 98 lots south of Waterfall Place located in the Southwest Middle School attendance boundary. The existing boundary line between Stone and Southwest is through the subdivision and is not workable as a boundary line. The proposed change would move the portion of the subdivision in the Southwest Middle School attendance boundary (98 lots) to the Stone Magnet Middle School boundary. There is only one access road into the neighborhood and this proposal would simplify transportation by using one bus to service the entire neighborhood to the same middle school. One (1) middle school student attending Southwest Middle School is affected by this proposal. In addition, there are four (4) elementary school students residing within the affected area.

The next step in the process is community engagement. The Attendance Boundary Change webpage is active and can be accessed through the "About Us" section of the District's website. The families affected by the Southwest Middle to Stone Magnet Middle boundary change proposal have been notified by mail.

The School Board will consider action in December to advertise for the public hearing in January, 2023.
