The School District of Lee County board is considering a new plan to determine school assignments. The Proximity-Based Plan will reduce the number of schools parents have to choose from, based on new maps that have been drawn using data to ensure they provide fair options. The primary reason behind the new plan is transportation issues the district faces under the School Choice system, which guarantees busing for all students regardless of how far from their school they live. As the student population has grown, and new schools have been built, the current system has become untenable and right now approximately 3,000 students are being delivered to school late, or home from school late, every day. The board is voting on the new plan — at this point only for elementary age students — tomorrow evening at 6:00.
