Planned School Assignment Cooperative Strategies presented a goal of realigning elementary to middle school feeder patterns to the school board to keep students together as they rise up through the grades. In several instances, rising 6 th students are split among multiple middle schools. This adjustment is the next step in the long-range goal.

Planned School Assignments (for rising 6 th graders: 2019-2020) Coleman Place – Current middle school assignment is divided between Norview MS (50%), Azalea Gardens (25%), Lake Taylor MS (23%) and Ruffner (2%) – Students currently zoned for Lake Taylor MS will attend Norview MS (rising 6 th grade students) – Students currently attending Lake Taylor MS will be grandfathered (continue at LTS) Percentages from Cooperative Strategies, Fall 2018

Planned School Assignments (for rising 6 th graders: 2019-2020) Ingleside – Current middle school assignment is Lake Taylor MS (100%) – All students will attend Norview MS (rising 6 th grade students) – Students currently attending Lake Taylor MS will be grandfathered (continue at LTS)

Planned School Assignments (for rising 6 th graders: 2019-2020) Sherwood Forest – Current middle school assignment is divided between Lake Taylor MS (13%) and Norview MS (87%) – Students currently zoned for Lake Taylor MS will attend Norview MS (rising 6 th grade students) – Students currently attending Lake Taylor MS will be grandfathered (continue at LTS)
