The school system shared that it is considering the proposed rezoning plan to help with overcrowding and to redistribute growth while keeping John Sevier, Sam Houston, and Foothills elementary schools balanced, productive and successful.
The proposed changes being considered are:

Area north of Sevierville Road between Columbus Street and S. Washington Avenue
Proposed rezoning from Foothills to Sam Houston
Morganton Reserve
The Cottages at Cade Cove

The rezoning would be for the 2025-2026 school year, and the school system shared that families will have the option to keep their children at their current school if they are willing to provide transportation. When the school board's decision is finalized, more information will become available for "grandfathering" provisions or to "stay put" to impacted families.
