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.

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

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

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

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.

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