The goal of redistricting is to readjust the population between the schools to make it nearly equal in population.
K-8 School “BB” will be located at 4090 Golden Knight Boulevard in Kissimmee, and K-8 School “CC” at 3175 Voyager Avenue in St. Cloud, right next to a proposed battery plant.
The board covered two different plans that would tell which students from each school would be moved to either of the schools.
