School Zone Boundary Reconfiguration
-
During the 2020 – 2021 school year, the RCSD and the Board of Education have been exploring options to address the District’s current zones in order to ensure that all students are receiving access to the same educational experience, regardless of the school they attend.
Dr. Shelley Jallow, the State Appointed Monitor, is providing academic and financial oversight to the District. As part of her recommendations, Dr. Jallow has proposed a reconfiguration of schools in the District and instructed a taskforce be created to share its information for potential new zone configurations.
Before this task force is convened to provide recommendations, the District needs to hear from all of its stakeholders on issues such as bus travel times, efficient use of current school buildings, and neighborhood schools (boundaries where students attend the school closest to their home).
