The Christian County School Board heard an update on what CCPS is doing to prepare for the implementation of House Bill 563, or the ‘school choice’ bill, at Thursday’s meeting, and approved a change to the District Facility Plan.
Director of Pupil Personnel Melanie Barrett explained what exactly the bill means for the district, saying that families will have the choice of sending their child to schools outside of the district or send their children to Christian County from outside of county. CCPS hasn’t had out of county contracts for many years now, but Barrett says she is confident that the district won’t have a big impact in student enrollment.
