Mayor: School board voted 5–0 to redraw boundaries, Cape Canaveral residents to attend Roosevelt Elementary
Summary
Mayor Wes Morrison told the council the Brevard County School Board voted 5–0 to change attendance boundaries, moving Cape Canaveral residents to Roosevelt (Theodore) Elementary; mayor described the city's attempts to coordinate and said the council will pursue intergovernmental steps to protect education access.
Mayor Wes Morrison reported to the City Council that the Brevard County School Board voted 5–0 to change attendance boundaries that will move Cape Canaveral residents to Roosevelt Elementary.
The mayor said the city had drafted a resolution, requested a joint workshop and met with school‑district officials, but had not received a favorable response before the board’s vote. He said city staff and the attorney prepared a letter to the school board chair reiterating the city’s willingness to explore alternatives and intergovernmental coordination.
Morrison said 13 speakers from Cape Canaveral addressed the school board and he praised residents and staff for professional engagement. He said the city will take “any actions necessary to protect education access for our Cape Canaveral residents” and that he and other council members will follow items in Tallahassee during the next legislative days.
The council did not adopt any formal motion at the meeting on an intergovernmental appeal; the mayor described next steps as outreach, documentation and monitoring pending any statutory closure or appeals processes by the school district.
