The school board just voted to reject the rezone plan. We successfully protected our neighborhoods and kept our students at Bartram Trail. Keep following our Facebook page so we can stay organized in case this proposal ever resurfaces.

Final supporters
The St Johns County School Board is proposing a rezone of Cunningham Creek Estates, Fruit Cove Woods and River Oaks Plantation from Bartram Trail High School to Creekside High School. This rezone will take an estimated 52 students from the community they spent the last 9 years in and push them into a High School (10 miles away) where they won't know a single person. Logistically and emotionally, this move does not make sense.
Why you should care even if this rezone doesn't affect you:
- If we do not take a stand, this can happen to any established neighborhood at any time.
- If you live in the affected neighborhoods, your property value will go down.
- These are children being moved from one overcrowded school to another. Bring back common sense.
Help us help these kids. Take a stand with us and say No to this Rezone!

This also have a negative affect for the kids who have developed long friendships through elementary and middle school and played on school sports teams and bands with friends from these neighborhoods, since they’ve gone to school together for years. This is the wrong area to rezone.
I am entirely against this rezone as it pulls kids from a small number of families away from their feeder schools into another overcrowded high school where they will know only 2% of the high school population. This does not make logical sense and will make it tremendously hard on these kids year after year.
Please rezone new neighborhoods and not established ones. Cunningham Creek Estates has already been yanked back and forth between middle schools in the last 15 years.
I am against the redistricting because I moved to this area after carefully examining the schools. My kids have moved several times due to my employment and don’t need to be sent to a different school after establishing friends and relationships.
50 students? That’s ridiculous. It won’t help the overcrowding at Bartram and just burden the parents and kids involved. If they are going to pull out kids, make it enough to actually help the overcrowding.
This type rezoning is silly. Elect a new school official.

I do not agree with this rezoning proposal. Seems like you are wasting additional money on transportation for these students, while the Aberdeen children are in WALKING distance to the school!!!!!!
