The school district is moving forward with a pre-k through eighth grade innovation school in the East Zone, which has tentatively been scheduled to open in August 2024.
“This is the right school for the right location at the right time,” Operating Planning & Project Management Executive Director Kathie Ebaugh said.
The site, which the district owns, is close to Florida Gulf Coast University on Treeline Avenue and represents the diverse population from which the school will be pulling.
“We know that the schools in this area are highly selective. The area elementary schools are over utilized,” Ebaugh said. “The recommendations of our site and school type for this campus is based on over two years of work our team (has been) collaboratively working on.”
