    School Board Delays Vote on K-3 Rezoning, But Leans Towards Map 7A

    Decatur Metro | December 11, 2013

    Decaturish reports that the Decatur School Board voted last night to delay a vote on K-3 rezoning so they could make sure all were clear on the finalized map they were approving – a version of Map 7A.  You can view a detailed PDF of Map 7A HERE.

    At a special meeting scheduled for December 18th, the Board plans to vote on Option 7A, with a few modifications which are detailed in the Decaturish post.

    Committee Makes K-3 Zoning Recommendations, Board Scheduled to Vote Tomorrow

    Decatur Metro | December 9, 2013

    The K-3 rezoning committee has made their final recommendations for the rezoning that must occur in the 2014-15 school year to accommodate Westchester Elementary School.

    Above is option 7A (PDF), which is the committee’s top choice map and includes tweaks recommended by the zoning committee, according to a note on the CSD website as part of tomorrow night’s School Board agenda.  The committee’s second choice is map 5 (PDF) followed by map 6 (PDF).  (There’s also an amended Map 6a which you can view in PDF or after the jump, which came out of the December 4th worksession, though it doesn’t appear to be recommended.)

    Additionally, the committee is recommending that “Westchester Elementary opens with all K-3 grade levels (Kindergarten, First Grade, Second Grade, and Third Grade) for the start of the 2014-2015 school year. This recommendation was made based on the perspective that all K-3 students would attend their assigned school zone without grandfathering in students for the 2014-2015 school year.”

    The School Board is scheduled to vote on the new zoning tomorrow night at it’s monthly 6:30p meeting at Westchester.
