A special meeting to consider adoption
of an attendance district for the new high school being built on Hwy. 1088
will be held by the School Board on Tuesday, October 28, at 7:00 p.m. at the
C. J. Schoen Administrative Complex.
New information packets on the three proposed attendance boundary maps are
currently being evaluated by board members. The proposed attendance map
scenarios include Map 1 recommended by the
boundary study committee from the September 29 meeting, Map 2 from the committee’s
September 29 meeting, and Map 3, an alternate map
proposed by Board Member Don Villere at the Board’s October 16 meeting
In preparation for the next meeting, Supervisor Regina Stanford has worked
with school principals from all schools with sixth through ninth grades that
are part of the Fontainebleau High School feeder system to compile the most
accurate information for the three map scenarios being considered.
Sixth grade students from Abita Springs Middle School,
Bayou Lacombe
Middle School, Lake
Harbor Middle
School, and Mandeville
Middle School, seventh and eighth
graders from Fontainebleau Junior High School and Monteleone
Junior High School, and ninth
graders at Fontainebleau
High School were
identified for the designated high school attendance under the three proposed
maps.
Previous data came from student numbers rolled forward from the previous year
and a survey of students during the opening week of school and was not as up
to date as the data collected earlier this week. Staff members are
working to project the best view of what the new high school will look like
in its first year with freshmen and sophomore classes and in its third year
when it serves ninth through 12th grades.
The maps and associated data may be viewed by clicking here.
You may click here if you would like to
make a public comment by way of e-mail in advance of the October 28 meeting.

comments link.
The special Tuesday meeting will take place at the C.J. Schoen Administrative
Complex at 321 North Theard Street in Covington. Persons
wishing to address the Board about this matter may contact Board Secretary Karrel Weathers at 985-898-3216 to be put on the list of
