INFORMATION SESSIONS ABOUT ZONING
ANNOUNCED FOR NEW SCHOOLS
|
Information sessions regarding
proposed zone lines for three new schools will be held in
early November. The proposals will be presented to the
Williamson County Board of Education at its work session
November 5, and the Board will vote on the new zone lines at
its regular monthly meeting November 16.
The come-and-go information
session for the west Franklin elementary will be held
Monday, November 9 from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. in the Walnut
Grove Elementary cafetorium. The session for the new south
elementary and south middle schools will be held Tuesday,
November 10 from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. in the Heritage Middle
School library. Parents are encouraged to attend. Maps will
be available to review, and parents will have the
opportunity to talk with staff and Board members.
The Board recently established zoning parameters for the
three new schools that will open
in August 2010. The elementary schools will open with
grades K-5, maintain feeder patterns as much as possible,
and follow current grandfathering policies. |

The
south elementary school will have an initial
enrollment of 500-650 students and will result in
the rezoning of some students who attend Heritage,
Longview and Chapman’s Retreat elementary schools.

The
west Franklin elementary school will initially serve
300-450 students and will result in the rezoning of
some students who attend Walnut Grove Elementary and
possibly some students currently zoned for Winstead
Elementary. |

The
middle school will open with sixth through eighth
grades. The Board plans to follow current
grandfathering policies and establish a feeder pattern for the new high
school in the southern part of the county. In
addition, Chapman’s Retreat and the
new south elementary school will become feeder schools
for the new south middle school. Heritage
Elementary and Longview will be the feeder schools
for Heritage Middle. Many students attending Heritage
Middle will be rezoned to the new school. |
