Background and Summary:
|
Public presentations and discussions focused on elementary school rezoning began on September 5, 2024. A rezoning plan is needed because housing developments approved and in process for the current Summit attendance zone are projected to increase student enrollment to over 140% of the school’s capacity within the next five to eight years. This school that is surrounded by significant high density development planned and in progress is also land-locked with no options to expand capacity of the school facilities.
The comprehensive process to arrive at a recommendation is chronicled at https://charlottesvilleschools.org/zoning and this web page links to another website constructed by the consultant (Woolpert) which provides additional information, including an interactive map with address lookup tool.
The final recommendation includes phasing options to maximize flexibility for families and CCS to navigate the changes ahead. In conjunction with the phasing, Policy JC School Attendance Zones requires an update to add a third reason (rezoning) that families may apply to attend an elementary school outside their zone of residence. |
