As new schools are built, the Fayette County Board of Education's School Zoning Committee considers changes in attendance boundaries to even out the student population. This work typically involves parents, teachers, FCPS administrators, two school board members, a district Equity Council representative, a city planning official, a home builder, and other community stakeholders. The committee's meetings are open to the public, and community input is welcome throughout the process.
