Welcome to Student Assignment
STUDENT ASSIGNMENT - Zoned Schools
On December 18, 2007, the Pinellas County School Board approved a new zoned student assignment plan for 2008-09. The new plan aspires to provide the following:
Predictable feeder patterns
Multiple school options
Zoned Schools
Students with access to peers from multiple cultures and diverse backgrounds that possess a broad variety of diverse skills, talents and abilities
That transportation issues for parents and families are reduced, along with transportation costs for the district
A simple application process
A uniform set of rules for the entire county
Beginning in 2009-10, only those students entering kindergarten, sixth- or ninth-grades will be assigned to their zoned school. All other students will be assigned to a school closest to their home on a space-available basis.
