The Clay County School District wants to hear from families as they prepare to adjust school boundaries for hundreds of students.
It comes as the district is getting ready to open the new Spring Park Elementary School not to be confused with the Spring Park Elementary School that’s in Duval County.The district has a variety of zoning options but ultimately chose the one they feel is going to best alleviate overcrowding and cut down on the use of portable classrooms.The Clay County School Board is putting a recommended attendance map on the table for next fall when the school opens.
“So the factors that go into the process number one, we look at past overcrowding or near overcapacity schools. The second thing we look at is simplifying transportation. The other things we look at are portable reductions. As you know, we have a substantial amount of portables in the county. So we look at portable reduction.
This comes after multiple attendance changes in the county last year when overcrowding at Oakleaf High School prompted the district to move students living in more than two dozen neighborhoods.
