About 170 Hardin County Schools elementary school students will be going to different buildings next school year after the Hardin County Board of Education approved redistricting for four schools.
“About 105 students will be transitioning to Lincoln Trail Elementary School, and about 60 to 65 will be transitioning to Cecilia Valley Elementary School, from G.C. Burkhead Elementary School,” said Hardin County Schools Community Relations Specialist John Wright.
Five students living the farthest away from Creekside Elementary School will also be moved to Lincoln Trail Elementary.
Wright said the decision was based on overcrowding at G.C. Burkhead that projections show is only going to get worse.
“We have had experts look at the growth in our county, also the potential growth with new buildings and new things being developed, new businesses being developed, and if we did nothing in the next 10 years, G.C. Burkhead would have approximately 1,100 students in its district, which is about 400 to 500 students over its capacity,” Wright said.
Current fourth graders at G.C. Burkhead will have the choice to remain there for fifth grade, but families must provide transportation. Transitioning students set to attend East Hardin Middle School will still do so, as will students set to attend West Hardin Middle School, and all of the involved students will still attend Central Hardin High School.
Wright said the building may change for these students, but the educational experience will not
“Those schools have the same opportunities,” Wright said. “They have great staffs, just like the ones they are leaving, and people who really love and cherish and are passionate about taking care of students.”
Parents of involved students were sent an email and letter, and information on the transition can be found on the HCS website. The district has also posted a form for parents and guardians to submit questions related to the move.
