Fayette County Public Schools To Redraw Boundries

As Fayette County Public Schools faces the difficult task of redrawing school attendance boundaries in advance of opening three new schools, district leaders need to start the work by listening. This is the first time in more than a decade that FCPS has considered such widespread changes to the attendance zones.
A volunteer committee of parents, employees and community members has met three times to begin looking at relevant data.  Before they dig into the work of considering maps, FCPS will hold listening sessions to gather input from the community.  The next session is scheduled for:

  • 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday July 10 at Lafayette High School, 401 Reed Lane
  • 4:30 p.m. Thursday, July 24 at FCPS Warehouse Facility, 1126 Russel Cave Road.

Future meetings are scheduled for November 20 and December 8. Continue reading
