Press Release –Community Meetings for Pending Fall 2013 School Attendance

Boundary Changes:

In order to meet the requirements of Section 1 Article IX of the State Constitution known as the Class Size Reduction Amendment, as well as to address residential growth and population changes in Citrus County, the Citrus County School Board is considering modifications to attendance boundaries to be implemented in the Fall Term of 2013.

A comprehensive attendance boundary study was conducted in the Fall of 2012 to assess the enrollment conditions at each of the schools and the findings were used to draft new attendance boundary maps for consideration by the Citrus County School Board.

The Board will review the study findings on January 8, 2013 and approve the draft attendance boundary maps for public input.
Three community meetings have been scheduled in order to provide information regarding the Comprehensive Attendance Boundary Study as well as to provide an opportunity for questions and input from stakeholders. Three meetings are being held at different locations for the convenience of parents. The first meeting will focus on the proposed high school attendance boundaries. The second two will include all of the attendance boundary proposals under consideration. The same information will be provided at all three locations.

The following is a schedule for the community meetings:

1. January 10, 2013 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm at the Crystal River High School Cafeteria
2. February 7, 2012 from 6:00 to 8:00 at the Citrus Springs Middle School Cafeteria

Please note: Any person requiring reasonable accommodations at this event because of a disability or physical impairment should contact the Citrus County School District / 1007 W. Main Street, Inverness, Florida 34450 / Phone: (352) 726-1931
