Welcome to the Charlottesville City Schools K-5 Rezoning Process website. All information related to this process, including all materials and presentations, can be found in the resources section of this website.

Why Are We Talking about Rezoning our Elementary Schools?

The purpose of the rezoning process is to rebalance enrollments among the elementary schools. Over time, populations have shifted within the community, causing imbalanced enrollments throughout the division. In addition, there are residential developments throughout the city that have the potential to produce a significant number of students, most of which fall within the current Summit Elementary and Jackson-Via Elementary school boundaries. Neither Summit Elementary or Jackson-Via Elementary are able to support modular classrooms on their site, and there is capacity to take in more students at other schools.

Get Involved

How to get involved: CCS held a series of engagements October through December, 2024 to gather feedback on the 4 initial boundary options presented to the community for feedback. CCS has planned two additional engagements to review and gather feedback on the rezoning recommendation.

CCS will be hosting a Q&A event on February 4th at Summit Elementary from 5-6pm. While all community members are welcome, this event will be tailored to those impacted by the recommended boundary changes. This meeting is meant to provide clarification to impacted families.

On February 11th from 5-7pm at Charlottesville High School, CCS will be hosting a community feedback event, or public hearing. During this time, each recommended area of change will be reviewed, and community members will be invited to provide feedback about the changes. Any community member that would like to provide input but is unable to join this meeting will have the opportunity to submit feedback via an online survey. The feedback received during the public hearing as well as the survey will be provided to the School Board as they move toward making a rezoning decision.
