The process
for creating new attendance zones is driven by data related to new home construction, campus growth, and other trends. We then use this data to develop multiple scenarios for committee consideration. The committee typically has additional ideas for scenarios that are then created and studied at subsequent meetings.
Factors considered in zoning include but are not limited to the following:
- Location of natural boundaries such as streams
- Location and proximity of major thoroughfares
- Capacity of individual campuses
- Projected enrollment at individual campuses
- Location of future schools
- Location of other boundaries such as railroad crossings
- Transportation concerns related to busing or students who walk
- Number of times that an individual student has been rezoned in the past or could be rezoned in the future
- Creation of pure feeder patterns
