6. At that January 19, 2010, the Board of Education delayed approving attendance zones for Battery Creek High and Beaufort High through an amended motion which created an OPT I and OPT J for staff to explore and bring back to the Board at its next meeting. Staff also included an OPT K. These options only involve Beaufort and Battery Creek High Schools.Option I Opt I would split the Beaufort ES attendance area down the middle of Ribaut Road, much like OPT G, but only include the Beaufort ES piece, so that the east side of the split would attend Beaufort High and the west side would attend Battery Creek High. This option leaves the Mossy Oaks area and Port Royal areas attending Beaufort High. Option J Opt J would split the Beaufort ES attendance area down the middle of Ribaut Road and the Port Royal ES attendance area down the middle of Ribaut Road, sending all high school students living on the east side of the split to Beaufort High, and all students on the west side to Battery Creek High school. This option leaves Mossy Oaks area attending Beaufort High.Option KOption K would have all the Beaufort ES attendance area attend Battery Creek HS and leave Mossy Oaks and Port Royal at Beaufort HS.

Option A uses the current WBMS zone plus Laurel Bay and 3-4 neighborhoods outside the gate as the attendance area for the WBECHS.Battery Creek would then include the RSMS area, all of the Beaufort ES zone and would cross the Broad River to the intersection with BJACE.Bluffton attendance area would reduce in size – by reassigning the Okatie piece to BCHS and by reassigning the Sawmill Creek, Colleton River and Malphrus Road neighborhoods to Hilton Head.
OPTION B is much like OPTION A with the change in Beaufort-downtown staying at BHS, and Port Royal ES area being reassigned to BCHS.
Option C offers the fewest changes from current zones, only removing the WBMS area from BCHS.
