Changes would be effective in August 2025.

The proposed attendance boundary maps are scheduled for release in November 2024.

Stakeholder participation is essential in the attendance boundary modification process. To determine if a boundary adjustment is necessary, CCPS staff analyze several factors, including current and projected enrollment, facility utilization, special programs (such as Exceptional Student Education and PreK programs), class size reduction requirements, school feeder patterns, and student reassignment data. Representatives from various departments contribute to the development of proposed attendance boundary maps, including District Leadership, Student and Staff Projections, Allocations, and Reporting (SSPAR), Transportation, School Leadership, Teaching and Learning, and other departments as needed. Additionally, the Attendance Boundary Review Team includes a School Board liaison.

CCPS will continue to offer parental choice options that will allow parents the ability to request another school for enrollment outside their assigned geographic attendance zone. The availability of specific schools is based on capacity and class size restrictions. Additional information on parental choice options and processes can be located online at the following link: Parental Choice.

School Board Policy 5120.02 allows rising 11^th and 12^th graders to remain at their existing schools. No transportation will be provided by the District. All other students who are rezoned must attend their newly assigned schools. All enrollees new to the District must attend the zoned school or apply as described below.

Students affected by the rezoning may apply for an Out of Zone approval or School Choice through the provisions of School Board Policy 5120 and Policy 5120.01. Decisions on those applications will be made in accordance with the provisions of those policies.

No, charter and private schools do not have CCPS assigned attendance zones and are not bound to the same local, state, and federal rules as traditional public schools.

All school attendance areas are evaluated on an annual basis. Schools that become extremely overcrowded or under-utilized may be considered for attendance boundary modification. District data pertaining to school enrollment and school capacity is available online.

The Attendance Boundary Review Team initially proposes attendance boundary recommendations to the School Board. Feedback from stakeholders, such as parents and community members, is then gathered and shared with School Board members before they make their final decision. 

CCPS staff involved in identifying proposed attendance boundary modification maps includes representatives from District Leadership; Student and Staff Projections, Allocations, and Reporting (SSPAR); Transportation; School Leadership; Teaching and Learning; and other departments as needed. The Attendance Boundary Review Team also includes a School Board liaison. 

Community members do not directly vote on the proposed attendance boundary modifications. However, community feedback received is shared with the School Board during the review process. The School Board votes on the recommendations as presented by the Superintendent of Schools and staff.

Community members can submit proposals for changes to school attendance boundaries online. Feedback collected through the online form will be shared with School Board members prior to their formal vote on the attendance boundary proposal(s). Additionally, community members are encouraged to attend any School Board meetings to provide in-person feedback.

In addition to submitting comments online, community members are welcome to provide feedback in person at School Board meetings.

The availability of District-provided transportation is determined by the distance between the student’s home and school. If the student’s address is within two (2) miles of the school and the walking route is considered non-hazardous, transportation will not be provided. Otherwise, eligible students are assigned transportation services. For more details, please visit the  Transportation homepage.
