The School Board voted unanimously last week to rezone the west end of Poinsettia Drive in Indian Harbour Beach, allowing any students living there to attend Delaura Middle School.
The change takes effect next school year.
The one middle school student living on the block already attends Delaura.
The vote by the School Board eliminates a zig-zagged school commute that currently would take students through the Delaura boundary area on their way to Hoover.
The change affects the west end of Poinsetta Drive, south of Verbenia Drive, where the Ocean Breeze townhomes are located.
The block is bordered by a walking path on the north side. To the west is city-owned property where the emergency radio tower is, adjacent to the Algonquin Sports Complex.
The rezoning was part of a broader vote on boundary changes, but this one was the only change beachside.
