Board reviews targeted rezoning to align Citrus Elementary with Ocoee Middle and Ocoee High; one family reported support
Summary
Staff proposed a targeted realignment to make Citrus Elementary feed wholly into Ocoee Middle School and Ocoee High School, affecting 48 middle‑school students; staff reported one family had provided support to date.
Orange County Public Schools staff presented a targeted rezoning on Oct. 21 to realign feeder patterns so students in the Citrus Elementary School zone would attend Ocoee Middle School and Ocoee High School, streamlining the elementary‑to‑middle‑to‑high progression.
Stacy Neill introduced the plan and said the proposal would affect 48 middle‑school students. Staff showed maps and demographic breakdowns, and reported the rezoning aligns with existing elementary boundaries so that neighborhoods are not split.
Nut graf: The district described the change as a feeder‑pattern alignment intended to reduce future student transitions between different middle and high schools and to better group students who attend the same elementary school.
Board discussion was limited. Neill said the district had received input from one family in support of the proposal. No board member raised objections during the work session; staff will continue the rezoning process following the district timeline of community meetings, rule development and a public hearing.
Ending: The proposal will return to the board after the public input window and follow the established rezoning notebook and hearing schedule.
