Process

Plan for Planning: This involves preparing for the rezoning process.

Background Data: Data pertaining to the geographies within the Charlottesville City Schools were reviewed and analyzed throughout the process. Datasets pertaining to rezoning are available under the Resources section of this website.

Rezoning Committee: The Superintendent’s Advisory Committee for Rezoning was a group of CCS parents, community members, and staff, that functioned as an advisory group throughout the process. Along with assisting with scenario creation, this group also reviewed community feedback, modified scenarios, and provided input on the final recommendation.

Boundary Work-Sessions: This involved creating and reviewing boundary scenarios. Boundary scenarios were created by the rezoning committee. The Staff Work Group for Rezoning then reviewed the scenarios to determine which scenarios would move forward in the process and be provided to the community for feedback. Boundary scenarios were made available for community review at the end of October.

Community Engagement: Along with keeping this website updated throughout this process, community meetings were held in October for community members to speak with committee members, division staff, and the consultant about the boundary scenarios that are presented. A survey was also available to those unable to attend.

Once the feedback was compiled into a report, it was provided to the rezoning committee. The rezoning committee then assisted with determining the recommendation. The recommendation was then brought back to the community in a public hearing. During the public hearing, stakeholders had the opportunity to provide additional feedback about each area of change.

Board Discussion & Action: Once a recommendation was finalized, it was presented to the School Board for discussion and action.
