Proposed School Zoning Maps Released
School district planning re-zoning to deal with overcrowded schools.
Parents on Thursday got their first glimpse of plans for rezoning of Mount Pleasant's elementary and middle schools.
The problem, school leaders say, is that four schools east of the Cooper River are beyond capacity while others are underutilized.
Belle Hall, Pinckney and Laurel Hill elementary schools are over crowded, according to school system data. Cario Middle School is also beyond capacity.

Parents have until Nov. 8 to offer opinions on the plans via an online survey. The school board will hand down a decision on rezoning before winter break. Once approved, rezoning will take affect in the 2013-2014 school year.
