District to publish rezoning maps; five community meetings set starting May 27
Summary
Interim Superintendent Kevin Chapman said the district will publish rezoning maps and host five community meetings starting May 27; materials will be posted on manateeschools.net/rezoningprocess before the meetings begin.
Interim Superintendent Kevin Chapman told the School Board on May 20 that the district will publish proposed rezoning maps and begin a series of community meetings the week of May 27 to gather public input on redistricting for the 2026–27 and 2027–28 school years.
Chapman said the maps and meeting schedules will be posted on the district site manateeschools.net/rezoningprocess either by the end of the week or before the community meetings begin. He listed meeting dates in the presentation, saying community meetings would be held May 27, 28, 29, 30 and 31 and that staff will present multiple options for public review.
Board members urged broad outreach to parents and principal-level distribution for calendar and survey items; Chapman and staff said they would post the maps online and follow up with meeting logistics. The board did not take a vote at the May 20 meeting; the announcement was informational and intended to launch public engagement.
Ending: Chapman asked the public to review materials once posted and to attend one of the scheduled community meetings to provide input on rezoning options.
