When moving to a new city, there are hundreds of details to think about and plans to make. One of the most difficult tasks is arranging for your children to enter school. We hope the information on these pages will help relieve some of the stress of relocation. If you are already a resident of Manatee county, we hope the information here will be beneficial and informative to help you in providing your child with the best public education available.

In May 2005, the Manatee County School Board approved the District's Strategic Plan that specifies a mission, core values, strategies, strategic objectives and delimiters that will guide our district's transformation over the next five years. All of our work is being aligned with this plan. Draft documents forecast an essential need for each student to be a proficient reader if our mission is to be fulfilled. The K12 Comprehensive Reading Plan will serve the District's Mission and Strategic Objectives
