    New Rapides Parish School Zones

    Uploaded by

    The Town Talk
    The document outlines proposed zoning changes for Rapides Parish schools for 2016-2017. It establishes zoning committees and identifies guiding principles such as improving education, equitable resources, and decreasing transportation costs. Specific proposals are made to adjust zones and feeder patterns for several high schools, junior high schools, and elementary schools. The results would maintain school cohorts, decrease transitions, increase parent involvement, make better use of facilities, and lower transportation costs. A transition plan allows currently enrolled students options while fully implementing the new zones.
