The Williamson County Board of Education discussed several zoning and rezoning plans during its work session last night. The establishment of zone lines for three schools that will open next  year were discussed along with rezoning for two other schools. The schools that will open next year include a west Franklin elementary school, an elementary school in the southern part of the county and a middle school in the southern part of the county. The School Board will vote to establish those zone lines at its regular meeting Monday, November 16 beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Administrative Complex.  

Regarding rezoning, two plans were shared last night. One involves a rezoning of some students at Bethesda Elementary. The other involves rezoning students at Ravenwood High to alleviate overcrowding. The School Board will vote on the rezoning plans at a special called meeting on Monday, November 30 at 6 p.m. in the Carolyn Campbell Room of the Administrative Complex.
