Red Clay board names members of new attendance‑zone committee, sets Jan. 21 start

The Red Clay Consolidated School District Board of Education on Dec. 18 received an update on a newly formed Secondary School Attendance Zone Enrollment and Programming Committee and set its first meeting for Jan. 21, 2025.

Dr. Prewitt, presenting the committee update, said the panel will be composed under board policy 9,004 of district administrators, school leaders, teachers and parents or community members and will meet six times between January and June. "Our first meeting is scheduled for 6 PM in the district office boardroom on January 21st," he said. He told the board the committee will "make a recommendation to you all at the July school board meeting as you requested." The board was asked to consider taking action on that recommendation at the August meeting.

Why it matters: the committee is charged with developing attendance‑zone and program changes that, if approved by the board, would affect where students attend school and when families make choice selections. The timeline presented would make new attendance zones effective in August 2027 if the process follows the proposed schedule.
