Redistricting - Elementary School

CCPS is starting a comprehensive elementary school redistricting process that will create an attendance zone for Elementary School No. 23, which is scheduled to open at the start of the 2025-2026 school year. The redistricting process also helps to alleviate overcrowding at schools and helps to balance school enrollments. 

Redistricting could impact attendance zones for CCPS elementary schools. Affected students entering kindergarten through Grade 5 will start their education at Elementary School No. 23 when it opens for the 2025-2026 school year.

Redistricting will take effect at the start of the 2025-2026 school year. The Board begins the redistricting process two years in advance to provide ample research time and opportunity for public input and notification. The elementary school redistricting process started in September 2023 with the advertisement for committee members. 

The redistricting committee’s task is to develop and evaluate potential attendance zones for Elementary School No. 23 for consideration by the Superintendent of Schools and the Board of Education.  The committee will be divided into two groups to develop two different proposals. Redistricting policy and rules require the committee to submit two proposals.

CCPS will select 11 parents to serve on the committee: eight who represent the elementary level; two who represent the middle school level; and one who represents the high school level. The school system will also select three community members for the committee. Additionally, CCPS will select four principals to serve on the committee. Three local government planners and CCPS staff will support the committee.

The redistricting committee will present its two proposals for consideration to the Board of Education at its March 2024 meeting. 

Using input from Board of Education policy, administration, staff, local government officials and community members, the redistricting committee will develop two proposals. The options will be developed based on criteria established by the Board of Education from a review of data. Input includes, but is not limited to, transportation costs, increasing populations of schools under capacity and decreasing student enrollment in schools over capacity. The redistricting committee will review data including elementary school enrollments, growth projections, resale of homes, new home construction, geographic maps and other information. The committee will present its two proposals to the Board of Education at its March 2024 meeting. CCPS will make the proposals available to the public. The Board will hold public hearings after receiving the recommendations from the committee.  

Superintendent of Schools Maria Navarro, Ed.D.,  will make her recommendation to the Board at its May 2024 meeting . The Board will hold an additional public hearing after receiving the Superintendent’s recommendation. The Board is tentatively scheduled to make a decision at its June 2024 meeting.

There are several ways for community members to share ideas about the middle school redistricting:

• Email ideas and comments to redistrict@ccboe.com. All correspondence will be shared with Board members and staff.
• Participate in public hearings.

Public comments and suggestions are shared with the Board of Education.

The Board of Education believes community input is essential to a successful redistricting.

Parents and students will be notified of the attendance zone for Elementary School No. 23 and any school zone changes after the Board votes on its redistricting decision in June 2024. The school system will notify parents about the chosen proposal. Additionally, CCPS posts all redistricting information on this webpage.

CCPS continuously posts information on the school system website, including time lines, meeting notices, publications and parent notifications, maps, fact sheets and more. All parents will receive fact sheets – an introduction to the redistricting, committee proposals, the Superintendent’s recommendation to the Board, and the approved redistricting plan. Board meetings include updates on the process and air live at www.ccboe.com.
