These nodes are on the northeastern side of Hwy 70 and adjacent to the current Leesville attendance area. Approximately 110 students from node 075.2 will be reassigned from Powell Elementary to Leesville. Approximately 76 students from node 021.0 will be reassigned from Brooks Elementary to Leesville.

Y-R Nodes In:
Reasons for Staff Recommendations
Capacity: Several of the mobile classrooms on the campus will be removed during the coming year.
Crowding: Crowding was not a concern at this school in the development of these recommendations.
Healthy Schools: Staff believes that the current percentage of students from low-income families is too low at 13% and needs to be raised to make Leesville more comparable to other schools in that area of the county. Changes suggested by staff will raise the percentage to approximately 27%.
Long Range Planning: Reassignment of nodes from Brier Creek to Leesville will help prevent future overcrowding at Brier Creek. The transportation area for year-round applicants from the current Baileywick base area will be established for Leesville in order to increase the accessibility of the year-round program for that area of the county.
