— Staff Report
The proposal incorporates the district's 12th unproblematic school, which will exist built on the district's south side in Rogers. That school isn't scheduled to open until the 2019-2020 schoolhouse year.
Well-nigh all of the proposed zone for the new school is currently zoned for Central Park Simple School. Students zoned for the new schoolhouse would attend Central Park until the new school opens.
Tanya Sharp, executive director of student services, said the push to implement uncomplicated rezoning adjacent twelvemonth -- rather than at the time the 12th uncomplicated school opens -- stems from concern about loftier enrollments at some of the schools, peculiarly Elm Tree and Apple Glen elementary schools.
Some lath members expressed surprise Th administrators were talking about implementing rezoning side by side year instead of the twelvemonth subsequently.
Putting off rezoning a twelvemonth would crave installing portable classrooms at Elm Tree Elementary School -- where enrollment is 12 percent over capacity -- and perchance at some other schools, Sharp said.
Joe Quinn, a board member, said he'd be willing to explore that culling. Travis Riggs, lath president, said he'd like to put off rezoning as long as possible, simply the mention of portable classrooms worried him.
"That's a great expense to put them in and then turn around and have them back out," Riggs said. "I don't know if that sits as well well with me."
He added he was "caught off guard" past the administration'southward intention to implement rezoning next year.
Details of the plan may be institute on the commune'due south website, www.BentonvilleK12.org, under the "Zones/Rezoning" tab near the peak of the home folio. That includes current and proposed zone maps, answers to frequently asked questions, and an online form through which people may submit questions well-nigh the proposal.
Most of the impact of the administrators' proposal falls on students living southward of Arkansas 102, but each school'southward zone would change at least a niggling chip.
The zone for Cooper Elementary School in Bella Vista, for instance, would add together a small portion of northwest Bella Vista that's currently zoned for Thomas Jefferson Uncomplicated School.
Centerton Gamble, which serves one of the district's fastest-growing areas, would shrink by dropping a portion of its zone south of Arkansas 102 and another part that includes Arkansas 72.
Willowbrook'due south zone, which at present stretches to the district'southward western border, would shrink dramatically and cover a minor portion of due south and southwest Bentonville.
The last time Bentonville rezoned at the elementary level was for the 2016-17 school year.
Superintendent Debbie Jones said the need to rezone stems from the district'due south growth in enrollment.
"When we stop growing, we'll stop rezoning," Jones said.
The district did its best under the rezoning proposal to keep neighborhoods together and consider future growth. They besides tried not to touch neighborhoods affected during the previous round of rezoning, Jones said.
