School Board of Clay County
March 4, 2021 - Regular School Board Meeting
Title
D5 - Public Hearing to Approve as Advertised Attendance Boundary Realignment for Oakleaf and Ridgeview High Schools
Description

Currently, Oakleaf High School is over its attendance capacity.  Neighborhoods planned and under construction will continue to add students.  Ridgeview High School is underutilized and has few or no new neighborhoods planned in its attendance area boundary.

This action would reduce the attendance area boundary for Oakleaf High School and shift those students to Ridgeview High School.

Boundary Description:

  • North of Old Jennings Rd and west from Challenger Dr to Jennings State Forest.
  • South of the power line easement along Tynes Blvd and west from Trail Ridge Rd to Jennings State Forest.
  • South and east along Trail Ridge Rd to its intersection of Ridgeview High's current attendance boundary.

This would impact approximately 300 students beginning the 2021-2022 school year..  Transportation already provided to Oakleaf High School would also be provided to Ridgeview High School.

Gap Analysis

No action would result in the continued overcrowding at Oakleaf 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 attendance boundary changes for both Oakleaf High School and Ridgeview High School.
