DISTRICT ATTENDANCE ZONES
The attendance zone committee met on October 29th to discuss a recommendation for the Board in light of the elementary construction projects. The recommendation of the committee was to move the boundary line for Osage Beach Elementary to Y Road and move the boundary line for Hurricane Deck Elementary to the Niangua Bridge. Pre-K and kindergarten students from Y Road towards OBE will attend OBE along with 1-4 grades from the current zone. Pre-K and kindergarten students from the Niangua Bridge towards HDE will attend HDE along with 1-4 grades from the current zone. First through fourth graders in the new attendance zones may attend either their current school or attend their new area school. The sign-up for any possible changes will be until January 31, 2015. The integration of the new attendance area will progress as next year’s Pre-K and kindergarten cohort advances grade levels.
The Board approved District attendance zones as recommended by the attendance zone committee.
