RULE NUMBER: Unnumbered rule in Chapter 9.

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To provide for changes in attendance boundaries for Berkshire, Cholee Lake, and Melaleuca elementary schools, to delay or gradually phase-in certain boundary changes that were previously approved by the Board on January 11, 2006.

SUMMARY: This action implements the School Board’s power to assign students to schools and adopt school attendance areas as deemed necessary by it for the efficient operation of the District school system. Specifically, there will be a delay or gradual phase-in of certain boundary changes previously approved by the Board on January 11, 2006, affecting Berkshire, Cholee Lake, and Melaleuca elementary schools because the modernized campus of Berkshire Elementary School will not be available for students in August 2006, and there is no space on the temporary Berkshire campus for additional students. This regular rule will supersede the emergency rule adopted on March 15, which provided the same revisions.

SPECIFIC RULEMAKING AUTHORITY: Fla. Stat. §§ 1001.41(1) & (2); 1001.42(22).

LAWS IMPLEMENTED: Fla. Stat. §§ 1001.41(1) & (6); 1001.42(4)(a).

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or to provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative, must do so in writing within 21 days of the publication of this Notice.
