Title
Approve Advertisement for Attendance Boundary Realignment for Lake Asbury Junior High School and Lakeside Junior High School
Description

Currently Lake Asbury Junior High School is approaching its attendance capacity with no room for new neighborhoods planned and/or under construction. Lakeside Junior High School is underutilized and has no new neighborhoods planned in its attendance area boundary.

This action would change boundary areas to align more closely to each school and provide seats for the planned development in close proximity to Lake Asbury Junior High School.

Boundary Description: From Lake Asbury Junior High School to Lakeside Junior High School

  • South of CR 220 and west from Swimming Pen Creek to the CSX railroad.
  • North of CR 220 intersecting current Lakeside Junior High School attendance area and west from College Dr. to Knight Boxx Rd.
  • North of CR 220 intersecting current Lakeside Junior High School attendance area and west to Middleburg High School attendance boundary.

This would impact 200 students beginning the 2022-2023 school year.  Transportation already provided to Lake Asbury Junior High School would also be provided to Lakeside Junior High School.

Gap Analysis

No action would result in future overcrowding at Lake Asbury Junior High School.

Previous Outcomes

The school board approved the boundary change for Discovery Oaks Elementary School in 2019.

Expected Outcomes

It is expected the school board will approve the advertisement for public hearing of both 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

Approve the advertisement for public hearing of boundary changes for both Lake Asbury Junior High School and Lakeside Junior High School.
