The Lee County School Board received the same presentation during its recent briefing meeting.
Approximately a year ago, the school district began working with Davis Demographics to ensure an equitable and diverse enrollment of students, as well as develop stronger schools through community partnerships and community-based school zones. The elementary school proximity zones also will provide a strategic improvement in transportation efficiency by reducing the time students are on the bus, officials said.
The district put together a technical working group, headed by Project Manager Courtney Gordon. She said they had close to 50 attendees at the first meeting at Dunbar High School. There were also meetings at Cape Coral High School, Three Oaks Middle School and Varsity Lakes Middle School.
