ASCENSION PARISH, La. (BRPROUD) – The public is invited by the Ascension Parish School Board to attend meetings this week on school redistricting plans.
The school system said meetings will review draft plans of the new school attendance zones for the 2024-25 academic year.
“As parents may be aware, our fifth high school, Prairieville High, is under construction with plans to open in the fall of 2024. That means, our school board members will need to redraw school attendance zones to create a new high school feeder system. As such, attendance zones will be changed at the primary, middle, and high school levels for most schools in the East side of our parish,” said Superintendent David Alexander.
Ascension Public Schools said that three draft plans were selected by the strategic planning committee but want to hear from the community before a final decision is made. People can visit the website and provide feedback via a survey or attend one of the three public meetings.
“Once parents have looked at the three draft plans, we would appreciate them taking a brief survey to rank preferences and to provide any additional feedback for the board to consider. As they have done in the past when we have opened Bullion Primary, Bluff Middle, Bluff Ridge Primary, and Sugar Mill Primary, our school board members will use the feedback provided before making any final decision,” said Alexander.
The school board plans to finalize the attendance zones later this year.
