Subject: Middle School rezoning

Good Morning Mr. Jordan & DiPatri,
Recently our school Atlantis received a letter pertaining to rezoning for middle schools. Although it did not specifically mention Space Coast Jr./Sr. high school, another article that I read stated:

Space Coast Jr./Sr. High: About 185 prospective middle school pupils would be sent to Clearlake Middle. The move would decrease Space Coast from 126 percent capacity to 111 percent and increase Clearlake's capacity from 59 percent to 90 percent. This group of pupils who could be zoned for Clearlake would go back to Space Coast for high school, while their classmates would attend Cocoa High.

What elementary schools or zones would be affected by this? I believe that the school board letter sent home was misleading to PSJ school students/parents and most people looked at it and tossed it thinking it did not pertain to their students because it did not specifically say anything about Space Coast Jr/Sr high, it did however mention Clearlake. I understand that it may be the students from Challenger and Atlantis that would be affected by the possible rezoning and be bused to Clearlake. I would like a clear answer to what is proposed for the students in PSJ. I would appreciate your immediate attention on clarifying the proposed rezoning for the middle schools.

Thank you.
Mrs. Turkali
