Option A is probably the most appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Option A draws the boundary lines very close to those of the current county commission and school board district boundaries, keeping at least one major city in each district as required by state law and retaining the primary schools in each district, but with four of the five school board districts getting new district numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>District 1 Board Member Cameron Asbell would continue to represent Bronson and serve the Town of Bronson, Bronson Middle High School and Bronson Elementary School, according to Cowart. Asbell represents District 1 and County Commissioner John Meeks represents District 1.<\/li><li>School Board District 2 member Tammy Boyle would continue to serve Cedar Key School but she would change her district number to 4 to match County Commissioner Lilly Rooks.<\/li><li>School Board District 4 member Paige Brookins would continue to serve Chiefland Elementary School and Chiefland Middle High School but she would change her district number to 2 to match the District of County Commissioner Rock Meeks.<\/li><li>School Board member Brad Etheridge would continue to serve District 3 including Williston Middle High School, Williston Elementary School and Joyce Bullock Elementary but he would swap district numbers with District 5 School Board member Ashley Clemenzi to match county commission districts. Etheridge would take District 5 and Clemenzi would take District 3, which includes Yankeetown School in her district.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Former Levy County Commissioner Mike Joyner, who represented District 3, has passed away. The governor will choose his replacement. Clemenzi\u2019s district and district number would match Joyner\u2019s. County Commissioner Matt Brooks represents District 5 and he and Etheridge would share the same district number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cowart said there are some changes in district lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cIt does move the district lines due to population growth but yes, that\u2019s the closest to what the lines are now that have the schools they associate within their district,\u201d Cowart said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The largest gains in population were in Williston, Southwest Levy County, and south of Chiefland. Gilreath said much of the population gains resulted from migration from Marion and Citrus Counties into Levy County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cowart plans to bring the district number changes back to the school board at its next meeting. He said school board members can approve or disapprove the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cThat will be at the discretion of the board to move forward with that,\u201d Cowart said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gilreath said state law forbids the county to redraw district lines that would remove an elected official from their district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One of the points made by school board members at the Oct. 12 meeting is that they weren\u2019t interested in having the lines redrawn to move them away from the schools they traditionally have represented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; School Board Chairman Cameron Asbell said he couldn\u2019t support Option C for that reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cAny of these options works for District 1 (Asbell\u2019s district). Option 3, I do not like. I know we represent all the schools. We\u2019re elected to represent all the schools. There\u2019s no school for Paige Brookins (in Option C). If you ask someone in the general public what school do you represent, Brad represents Williston, Paige represents Chiefland, so I think it is important to keep a school mapped into their districts. Yes, I have no problem if people call me and ask a question, but I think it\u2019s important; it may not line up with the county commission, but we are two completely different operations. I think it\u2019s important, however, we go with a school in each of the districts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Etheridge asked if school board members could talk individually with county commissioners about the redistricting issues. Gilreath said he preferred that school board members and county commissioners communicate through their respective administrators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cThe way it works on my end, the communication comes through the superintendent just like with the county, the communication comes through the county coordinator. I\u2019m not talking directly to the board. I\u2019m essentially staff, so I\u2019ll take direction from them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cI\u2019ll just say it\u2019s an awesome task you are doing,\u201d Etheridge said. \u201cThe students have different identities that operate in different scenarios and drawing lines that make it palatable to everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Gilreath is hosting five workshops to take public input. The first occurred at Rosewood Baptist Church. The second is on Monday, Oct. 18 at Inglis Community Center. The third is at Tommy Usher Center in Chiefland on Oct. 25, the fourth at Williston Municipal Complex on Nov. 1, and the final workshop is at the Levy County Government Center. All workshops start at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; He said he is also establishing interactive sites on the school board and county commission websites that allow people to browse through the four options and see the maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-black-color has-text-color\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">School Board of Levy County Regular Meeting October 12, 2021; Posted October 17, 2021\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Terry Witt -Spotlight Senior Reporter \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Levy County\u2019s two most powerful political boards, the county commission, and school board are being asked to approve identical boundary lines for the districts their members represent and it could happen with relatively little political pain. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Or it could get messy.
