Editor's Notes

- #5: This table shows that we examined not only the current students, but also the cohort group for next year. Notice increases at BHS, HHHS, and BLHS, while BCHS decreases.
- #7: This table shows the number of current 9th-12th graders who are zoned for each school, the number of APPROVED transfers both in and out, and then the total number of students attending the school.
- #11: This map shows the area of Laurel Bay and the neighborhoods outside the base gate which include:PINEWOOD SUBDIVISION, IRONGATE, CAPEHART and RAMBLIN ACRES.
- #13: This map shows the area of Downtown Beaufort that would be reassigned to BCHS. The line is the current boundary between BES and MOES.
- #15: This shows the detail of the area north of BJ-ACE that would be reassigned from BLHS to BCHS
- #16: This map details the areas to be reassigned from BLHS to HHIHS and include Colleton River Plantation, Sawmill Creek Road, Malphrus Road including Heritage Lakes, Old Towne Village, and Pine Forest.
- #19: This map gives an OVERVIEW of the areas in Northern Beaufort CountyAs a point of reference – Yemassee to BCHS = 23 mi and Yemasee to WBECHS = 16 miGiving any student in the Sheldon/Dale/Lobeco area 7 less miles to travel to go to WBECHS as opposed to BCHS
- #20: This map shows an overview of the southern area of Beaufort County, and highlights the area north of BJ-ACE that would be reassigned to BCHS.
- #22: These tables show the current counts of students in the OPTION A zones and the cohort group for next year.
- #23: These tables show the current counts of students in the OPTION A zones and the cohort group for next year.
- #24: OPTION B is much like OPTION A with the change in Beaufort-downtown staying at BHS, and Port Royal ES area being reassigned to BCHS.
- #29: These tables show the current counts of students in the OPTION A zones and the cohort group for next year.
- #35: These tables show the current counts of students in the OPTION A zones and the cohort group for next year.
- #36: Option A which makes the most changes district-wide, best reduces the population at BHS, and makes good use of available space at HHIHS. This option A also keeps the most students at BCHS. Option B differs from Option A only in that the Downtown Beaufort area attends BHS, and Port Royal attends BCHS.Option C offers the fewest changes from current zones, only removing the WBMS area from BCHS.
