LAND O' LAKES - The Pasco County School Board will hold its second and final public hearing Tuesday on proposed attendance boundaries for Crews Lake Middle and Veterans Elementary, two new schools scheduled to open in August.

After the hearing, the board will vote on whether to approve the boundaries.
Crews Lake Middle, under construction in Shady Hills, affects attendance boundaries for River Ridge Middle, Bayonet Point Middle, Hudson Middle and Pine View Middle schools.

Veterans Elementary, under construction in Wesley Chapel, affects boundaries for Quail Hollow Elementary and Seven Oaks Elementary.

Committees made up of district administrators, principals and parents set the proposed boundaries.

At the first public hearing Feb. 5, the school board gave initial approval to the boundaries as recommended by the committee.

Just one resident affected by the changes spoke at the hearing. Lawrence Wolfenden, who lives in Pasco Trails just north of State Road 52 and east of U.S. 41, said residents of that neighborhood prefer to remain zoned for Pine View Middle instead of having their children moved to Crews Lake Middle.

Tuesday's hearing is part of the regularly scheduled school board meeting at 6 p.m. at the district administration complex, Building No. 3, 7205 Land O' Lakes Blvd.
