Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why does my child have to change schools so often?

The population of the valley continues to grow rapidly.  To avoid overcrowding, attendance zones are reviewed each year.  Changes are made due to overcrowding or new school construction, when absolutely necessary.

What factors does AZAC take into consideration
when determining attendance
zones?

Zoning criteria is established by district Policy 7111 and Regulation 7111. Enrollment numbers, projections, geographic population, and new school locations are some of the criteria used by AZAC.

If I am in favor of a proposal or recommendation,
do I need to attend a public input meeting?

Yes. It is always recommended that you attend public input meetings when attendance boundaries affecting your child are being discussed.

Does AZAC determine if a school goes on or off
a year-round schedule?

No. Once a school meets enrollment criteria for calendar conversion as per CCSD Regulation 7124 (elementary schools) or CCSD Regulation 7124.1 (secondary schools), schedule changes will go into effect the following school year.

How do you become an AZAC Member?

The School Board Trustee in each district appoints two individuals from their area, the Superintendent of Schools appoints one individual from the community.
