TRANSCRIPT
OPTIONS FOR STUDENT REASSIGNMENTPresentation to the Beaufort County Board of EducationJanuary 5, 2010
Pritchardville Elementary School, Bluffton Middle School, and the Whale Branch Early College High School open for the 2010-2011 school year. Planned attendance areas for both the elementary and middle schools were presented in the APR report in July 2007 and then attendance areas were adopted in January 2009 after public input meetings.
OCR has asked that the District review these zones and develop other options that would reduce the current White population at Okatie ES and the current Hispanic population at Red Cedar ES.
Staff developed several options for consideration by the Board for the elementary and middle school zones and they have approved OPT 3 on first reading. Final student assignment plans pending approval by OCR.

Shanklin- Broad River- Shell Point- Beaufort Elementary school assignments For 2009-2010 there was a shift of 150 students among these schools for long term planning for projected enrollments. In studying this reassignment, OCR has asked the District to review the effects of this action. District staff recommend that we leave these reassignments until the 2010-2011 school year, and include this review as part of a comprehensive review of the Davis/Whale Branch progress when the PASS score reports are available.
