Sanctuary at Southgate asks UCPS for expedited boundary review so children can attend closer schools
Summary
A neighborhood group asked the board to apply UCPS policy 4-13 and release the analysis behind current school assignments, citing transportation burdens that add dozens or hundreds of hours per child per year and requesting a phased solution or reassignment where capacity allows.
Ryan Zacony (speaker 7) asked the board to expedite a review of attendance assignments for Sanctuary at Southgate, arguing the neighborhood is administratively isolated from nearby schools and that assigned schools are miles away. He said he had emailed staff detailed notes and maps and requested staff "apply its own published criteria on our neighborhood and show the analysis behind the current assignment."
Zacony cited UCPS board policy 4-13, which he said requires assignments to maximize facility use, consider efficient bus operation, and assign students to the closest appropriate school "whenever practical." He asked the board to direct staff to complete an expedited review, release the analysis supporting the current assignment, and return with a recommendation that could help families as early as this school year.
