OCPS | 2026-04-28 Rule Development

The Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) Board held a Rule Development Workshop on April 28, 2026, focused on the rezoning of several elementary and middle school attendance zones, including Wolf Lake Elementary and Middle Schools, Zellwood Elementary, Kelly Park School, and the redistribution of students from Orange Center Elementary due to its conversion to a charter school. The meeting reviewed the rezoning process, timelines, and community engagement efforts, including surveys and public hearings scheduled for May 12, 2026. Key discussions included targeted rezoning to alleviate overcrowding and improve transportation logistics, with detailed demographic and enrollment data presented for affected schools. The board acknowledged community input, noting minimal opposition to the proposed changes, and expressed support for moving the rezoning plans forward to the public hearing stage. No direct contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the rezoning decisions could impact future resource allocation and transportation planning within the district.
