SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve the Modification to Thompson and Cypress Creek Elementary Schools Attendance Boundaries

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

On February 11, 2014, the School Board approved the boundaries for the J. Vince Thompson Elementary School, which opened in August 2014.  New residential development in the south county area has continued at a rapid pace, and the growth management staff is continuously monitoring the growth patterns and capacity utilization throughout the District.  

During this monitoring process, staff identified a newly approved development (Wynnmere East Phase II) consisting of 211 homes located south of 11th Avenue NE, north of E. Shell Point Road, east of the Blackstone subdivision, and west of 24th Street NE.  Prior to construction, staff is recommending that the new development be reassigned from Thompson Elementary to Cypress Creek Elementary.  Cypress Creek Elementary currently has available capacity, and the change would ensure consistency with the previously approved phases of the Wynnmere East development already assigned to Cypress Creek Elementary.
