]]> With two new schools opening in south Lake County over the next three years, the district is making plans to shift attendance boundaries in that area to minimize the chances of crowding and to address projected student population growth.

Some students will be reassigned to different schools, but it has not yet been determined which students will be affected. Changes would be effective starting August 2021.

A School Board workshop is scheduled for 9 am on February 20 at the District Office in Tavares, and the redistricting process will be on the agenda. The Board will meet again at 6 pm on February 24 in the Lake County Commission Chambers in Tavares, when they will have the choice to narrow down the options for public input. Three public input meetings will follow:

  • March 5, 5:30 p.m., at Sawgrass Bay Elementary School
  • March 10, 5:30 p.m., at Clermont Middle School
  • March 11, 5:30 p.m., at Windy Hill Middle School

Other features of the site include an explanation of the decision process, frequently asked questions and contact information.

E-STEM school for kindergarten through Grade 8 will be built in the Cagan’s Crossings neighborhood in Four Corners

A Four Corners K-8 school is slated to open in the fall of 2021 in the Cagan’s Crossing community with an environmental curriculum that weaves in science, technology, engineering and math.

Aurelia M. Cole Academy

The Aurelia M. Cole Academy is expected to open in the fall of 2023, replacing Clermont Elementary and Clermont Middle schools. (For additional information, visit- new South Lake County Schools)

While district staff has identified six attendance boundary options, each with its own set of pros and cons, they are continuing to weigh options for where current Clermont Elementary and Clermont Middle school students will go while the Aurelia M. Cole Academy is being built.

To help parents stay informed throughout the decision-making process, the district has launched a new web site at lake.k12.fl.us/redistricting. 

The site highlights the six options currently being considered. On interactive maps, site visitors can enter their home address to see how they would be affected by each option. The site also includes a calendar with dates of public meetings where the options will be discussed.

Parents and other interested stakeholders are invited to visit the site frequently. New information will be added as it becomes available.
