In August 2020, Hillsborough Public Schools will open new High School “TTT” located on the north side of County Road 672 (Balm Road), east of US Highway 301. Designed to provide space for new growth in the area, the new high school will offer relief to East Bay High School and currently overcrowded Lennard Bay High School. Additionally, the proposal includes minor adjustments to the southern portions of the Newsome and Durant boundaries, which includes areas closer in proximity to the new High School “TTT” site.

• The attendance boundaries of Lennard, East Bay, Newsome, and Durant High Schools are proposed to be impacted to balance enrollment among the high schools. All proposed impacted students will be reassigned from their current assigned high school to the new high school “TTT”. These changes will be effective for the school year starting August 2020.


• To access the written comments provided at the informational parent meetings: comment sheets


• Public questions, comments, and concerns are welcome at these meetings and will be considered during the School Board’s consideration and final approval of the proposal.

The proposed attendance boundary change would move a 30.1acre property located south of Boyette Road and east of Balm Boyette Road from Dawson to Pinecrest Elementary. Currently, the property is vacant; therefore, no current students will be impacted. Two hundred and ninety one single-family homes have been proposed to be developed, which is currently split between the Dawson and Pinecrest Elementary attendance boundaries. This attendance boundary change will ensure that all students within this future development will be assigned to Pinecrest Elementary School.

Proposed Boundary Change From Dawson Elementary to Pinecrest Elementary

This proposed attendance boundary change will be considered by the School Board on June 19, 2018.

The proposed attendance boundary change would move a 9.70 acre property located south of Boyette Road and east of Silver Fox Lane from Dawson to Stowers Elementary. Currently, the property is vacant; therefore, no current students will be impacted. Thirty-three (33) single family homes are proposed on this site. This area was originally planned to remain in the Stowers attendance boundary, but was not depicted on the proposed maps. This change is consistent with the intent of the original proposal to use the properties to the east and south as the dividing line. Said adjacent properties are owned by the Girl Scouts, who have confirmed their intent to maintain the property as undeveloped land.

Proposed Boundary Change From Dawson Elementary to Stowers Elementary

The proposed attendance boundary change would move two single family lots and a undeveloped single family subdivision (Reserve at Citrus Park) from Deer Park to Westchase Elementary School. This change is proposed due to their single access onto Lake Sunset, which is consistent with other properties located in the Westchase Elementary attendance boundary. The properties are located south of Fox Sparrow Road, west of Sheldon Road, and north of Lake Sunset Drive. The Reserve at Citrus Park, situated on 19.15 acres, is currently under construction with 77 single family homes. The two single family lots are existing homes located on approximately 1.75 acres. No impacted students were identified.

Proposed Boundary Change from Deer Park Elementary to Westchase Elementary

Attendance boundary changes are occasionally needed within Hillsborough County Public Schools to prevent or reduce overcrowding and to maximize capacity. This reduces the need to build additional schools at extraordinary costs to taxpayers. Another goal of boundary change is to bring neighborhoods together when possible by implementing contiguous attendance zones.

The adopted proposal recommends attendance boundary changes that will impact areas in and around North Tampa and New Tampa (effective August 2018). The adopted proposal will impact the attendance boundaries for the following elementary and middle schools: Clark, Forest Hills, Heritage, Hunter's Green, Mort, MOSI, Pizzo, Pride, Shaw, Witter, Adams, Greco, Sligh, and Van Buren.

Communicating with key stakeholders is an important part of the school redistricting process. Parent/community input meetings were held on March 28, 2017, and March 30, 2017, and public comment sheets were collected, compiled, and reviewed by staff. Since these meetings were held, staff conducted additional research and developed a modification to the original attendance boundary proposal moving students from Heritage to Pride (Addison Park Apartments). This revision is needed to better balance the projected enrollments between Pride and Heritage.

All of the requests were evaluated such as Cory Lakes and Arbor Greene remaining at Pride and the Cahoon magnet program remaining in place, but based on projections and capacity, these revisions could not be accommodated. The revised proposal is detailed below with implementation strategies developed to assist families with the transition.

NEW ADOPTED Implementation Strategies

5th Grade Grandfathering: All current 3rd grader students who will be 5th graders in 2018-19, will be allowed to remain (“grandfathered”) at their current school by completing a special choice application with the exception of those students enrolled in MOSI.

Early Admission: All students interested in enrolling early in their newly assigned school will be admitted through a special choice application during the July 11-20 choice application period, if capacity is available.

Pride Elementary School: Due to potential available capacity in the 2018-19 school year, students in grades 1-3 who live in attendance area and currently attend Pride Elementary School will be eligible to enter a special lottery to remain at Pride for the 2018-19 school year. The special lottery will be conducted based on available capacity (estimated 150 seats).

Cahoon Elementary Magnet School: Students currently enrolled in grades K-3 at Cahoon Magnet will have the option to enroll with a special choice application at the new PK-8 neighborhood school on the current Van Buren/Cahoon campus (no automatic admission for grades 6-8).

Hunter’s Green & Clark Students located in North Tampa: Families affected by the proposed boundary change from Hunter's Green and Clark to Shaw and Witter will be provided a special Choice application for 2018-19.  Furthermore, Choice staff will host special information sessions in the fall of 2017 within their communities.  Due to these boundary changes, special preference will be given through the Choice application process.

Middle Schools: Current students in the 5th and 6th grade may request to attend their newly assigned middle school for the 2017-18 school year through a special choice application during the July 11-20 choice application period, if capacity is available.

MOSI Students: Current 3rd graders who are assigned through Class Size Reduction placement may remain at their current school (those who are assigned to MOSI, but are not enrolled at MOSI).
Students currently enrolled at MOSI Elementary will be reassigned to multiple schools depending on their residential address.

Choice Options: Open school choice will be closed for all schools involved in this proposal for the first year of implementation. Choice hardship rules will still apply.

Transportation: Generally, transportation is not provided to students requesting to remain at their current school (“grandfathered students”) depending on an evaluation of current routes. The Transportation Department will determine those addresses that will be eligible for bus transportation prior to the 2018-19 school year. For future information on busing, please contact the Transportation Call Center at (813)982-5550.

Siblings: No preference will be available for younger siblings, “grandfathering” applies only to the grades referenced above.

New PK-8 Programming: The District has collected stakeholder input for potential programs for the new school, which will be developed over the next school year. Additional information will be available on the District website in the coming months.

Due to current capacity shortages and overcrowding at Gorrie Elementary, Wilson Middle and Plant High Schools, along with continued future growth already approved within these school attendance boundaries, it is necessary to adjust the school attendance boundaries to balance enrollments. Within a relatively small geographic area, generally described as: south of Kennedy Blvd; north of the Selmon Expressway; west of the Hillsborough River and east of S. Boulevard, there are over 1,000 unbuilt residential units recently approved by the City of Tampa. Based upon countywide student generation rates, these projects could generate over 250 students who cannot be accommodated at their assigned schools. We propose to reassign this area from Gorrie Elementary, Wilson Middle and Plant High Schools to Just Elementary, Madison Middle and Blake High Schools, effective for the 2017-18 school year. These school zones are consistent with the downtown Tampa and the Channelside areas attendance zones. No current students will be impacted by the proposed changes.

For more information email boundaries@sdhc.k12.fl.us or call (813) 272-4608.

The School Board will consider the attendance boundary change at their regularly scheduled School Board meeting on March 7, 2017, at 901 E. Kennedy Blvd, Tampa, Florida.

In order to provide relief to Stowers Elementary School and balance enrollments in this growing area, an attendance boundary change was approved for Stowers, Bevis, and Pinecrest Elementary Schools.

The reassignment from Stowers to Bevis and Pinecrest was approved on March 29, 2016 by the School Board and shall be effective beginning in the 2016-17 school year.

The reassignment of Stowers Elementary students to Bevis and Pinecrest will only provide temporary relief to Stowers Elementary, and staff will continue to monitor contributing factors and recommend methods to decrease the enrollments at Stowers during the redistricting plan for the 2017-18 school year. In addition, staff will reevaluate student reassignments from Stowers to Boyette Springs Elementary (including those areas contained within the original staff proposal) during the drafting of the new attendance boundaries for Elementary “C”.

• Students residing within the areas of change shown on the maps will be reassigned for the school year beginning August 2016.
• This proposal does not impact students currently assigned to Bevis or Pinecrest.
• Current 4th grade students (incoming 5th graders) who are reassigned to Bevis Elementary or Pinecrest Elementary may remain at Stowers Elementary if they are able to provide their own transportation. No sibling preference shall apply.
• Students attending another school such as a Magnet or a Charter School can continue at their currently enrolled school.
• ESE & HOST: ESE services and the HOST program currently offered at each of the schools will continue to be offered.
• Transportation: The Transportation Department will determine those neighborhoods that will be eligible for bus transportation and those neighborhoods where students will walk to school.
• Choice: The proposed reassignment will not impact students who are currently attending schools through the Choice Options program. If you are interested in exploring other attendance options for your student please visit the Choice website.

Starting in August 2015, Sulphur Springs Elementary was renamed and converted into the Sulphur Springs K-8 Community School. The school opened the middle school component with only the 6th grade level for the 2015-16 school year. The school will continue to only serve grades PK-6th grade level for the 2016-17 school year. Therefore, incoming 7th grade students (2016-17) assigned to Sulphur Springs must contact the School District’s Choice Office for 7th grade school assignment options at (813) 272-4692.

The School District has been an active partner in the Sulphur Springs Neighborhood of Promise (SSNOP) program which is a collaborative effort of residents, educators, service providers, government agencies, business leaders and funding partners who have joined together to implement an educational program in which children thrive academically. As part of the educational program, Hillsborough County Public Schools is proposing that Sulphur Springs Elementary convert to a grade K-8 Community School beginning in August 2015, but phasing in the implementation by adding just one additional grade level each year, requiring no current middle school students to change schools.

The SSNOP community initiative strives to provide a child-focused educational delivery system that is family-friendly and easily accessible within the neighborhood. The goals of the SSNOP are to create a culture that promotes the caring, nurturing and successful education of children; to offer support services in positive and productive settings; to create a promising future for the neighborhood where ALL children enter school prepared to succeed, function at grade level and graduate from high school prepared for college, technical school, and/ or career.

The Sulphur Springs K-8 Community School would provide a mechanism to meet the above mentioned goals. Students would be kept together with their classmates and teachers through the 8th grade providing continuity to both students and their families. Students in grades 6-8 in the existing Sulphur Springs Elementary boundary would be reassigned from either Van Buren or Sligh Middle Schools to the new Sulphur Springs K-8 Community School (phased in). The boundary of Sulphur Springs Elementary would now be Sulphur Springs K-8 Community School and the attendance boundaries for Van Buren and Sligh Middle Schools would be amended to remove the portions that currently serve students attending Sulphur Springs Elementary.

The School Board approved changes to the attendance boundaries of Van Buren and Sligh Middle Schools that will be required to reassign students within the current Sulphur Springs Elementary boundary to the new K-8 Community School (starting with only 6th grade next year).
