| TOLEDO BLADE ELEMENTARY BOUNDARIES DISCUSSED |
|
WENGNews writes, "THE SARASOTA COUNTY SCHOOL BOARD ON TUESDAY BEGAN DISCUSSIONS ON POSSIBLY CHANGING THE BOUNDARIES FOR THEIR MOST OVERPOPULATED ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT…TOLEDO BLADE ELEMENTARY. ACCORDING TO THE HERALD TRIBUNE, THE PROPOSED NEW BOUNDARIES TAKE INTO ACCOUNT TWO NEW SCHOOLS—IMAGE CHARTER, WHICH OPENS AFTER THE SUMMER, AND A NEW 700 STUDENT SCHOOL THAT’S SLATED TO OPEN IN 2009. THERE WAS NO OPPOSITION OR DISCUSSION AT THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING, WHICH WAS A RELIEF TO BOARD MEMBERS. ONE OF THE PROPOSALS WOULD GIVE FIFTH GRADERS THE OPTION TO STAY AT TOLEDO BLADE OR ATTEND ONE OF THE NEW SCHOOLS. TOLEDO BLADE CURRENTLY HAS OVER 1600 STUDENTS AND IS SO OVERCROWDED THAT 240 FIFTH GRADERS ARE BEING SENT TO A NEW MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT IS SCHEDULED TO OPEN NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. THE BOARD IS EXPECTED TO OFFICIALLY ADOPT THE NEW BOUNDARIES AT THEIR NEXT MEETING ON APRIL 15TH. "
