ORIGINAL (Oct. 24, 2023):
The School District of Lee County will hold three town halls for families and community members.
Superintendent Dr. Christopher Bernier will introduce the plan for middle school proximity zones and discuss his projects and priorities for the 2023-24 school year. Proximity zones redraw the attendance boundaries for sixth, seventh and eighth graders, assigning them to schools closer to home. Community based schools encourage parental involvement and reduce the need and demand for transportation.
A town hall will be held in each zone as follows:
– South Zone: Oct. 26 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Bonita Springs Middle School, at 10141 Terry St., Bonita Springs
– West Zone: Oct. 30 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Challenger Middle School, at 624 Trafalgar Parkway, Cape Coral
– East Zone: Nov. 1 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Oak Hammock Middle School, at 5321 Tice St., Fort Myers
Parents and community members are encouraged to attend the one that is most convenient to them.
The Lee County School Board is expected to vote on the proximity plan at its Nov. 21 meeting.
