LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Some students in the Clark County School District could be forced to attend a different school next year.
The district's Attendance Zone Advisory Commission approved a proposal to rezone more than 270 students from Coronado High School to Green Valley High School. Now, it goes to the CCSD Board of Trustees for approval.
The rezoning recommendations are designed to address overcrowding and future development in the Henderson area. Members of the commission report both Coronado and Green Valley are over their capacity, which is about 2,500 students. Green Valley has close to 2,600 students, while nearly 3,300 students attend Coronado.
The commission's proposal would rezone school boundary lines — however, currently enrolled 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students would be "grandfathered" in, commission member Anna Binder explained.
"The zoning would include grandfathering currently enrolled 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students within the reassigned area," Binder said. "Therefore, only incoming 9th grade students and newly enrolled students in the area would be reassigned each year."
That proposal is one of five the zone advisory commission passed for the school board to consider.
Another proposal would shift students zoned for Indian Springs High School to Centennial High School. Another proposal would move some students zoned for Arbor View High School to Centennial instead.
The Board of Trustees will consider whether to approve the five proposals next month.
Editor's note: The text of this report has been clarified to reflect that students in Indian Springs will not be re-zoned for Centennial High School.
