Title
D5 - Public Hearing to Approve as Advertised Attendance Boundary Realignment for Oakleaf Junior High and Orange Park Junior High Schools
Description

Currently Oakleaf Junior High School is in a rapid growth area.  Neighborhoods planned or under construction will bring more students to the school and it will approach capacity in the near future. Orange Park Junior High has little to no planned growth and is underutilized and will remain underutilized until its boundaries are changed.  This item is to change Oakleaf Junior High School’s attendance area boundary to move students to attend Orange Park Junior High School.  It would not go into effect until the 2022-2023 school year.

Boundary description:

- West of the current Orange Park High boundary at Orange Park Country Club.

- East of the Oakleaf Planation neighborhoods of Stonebrier, Piedmont and Waverly

- South of the Duval County border.

- North of the Spencer property and RHS’s Northern attendance boundary.

Impact: approximately 198 students

Transportation already provided to Oakleaf Junior would also be provided to Orange Park Junior.

Gap Analysis

No action would result in Argyle area students’ continued Okleaf Junior attendance.

Previous Outcomes

The School Board recently approved several school attendance boundary changes.

Expected Outcomes

It is expected the School Board will hold a public hearing and approve as advertised attendance boundary changes.

Strategic Plan Goal

Ensure effective management of the organization, operations, and facilities to maximize the use of resources and promote a safe, efficient and effective learning environment for Clay County students.

Recommendation

Hold a public hearing and approve as advertised attendance boundary changes for both Oakleaf Junior High School and Orange Park Junior High School.
