Seminole County School Board lawyer Ned Julian has a plan to get rid of those pesky parents who take complaints about school-attendance zones to the state Division of Administrative Hearings.

"It would be a really good thing if school-attendance rezoning could be exempted from the administrative procedures act," Julian wrote last week in a note to Ken Bovio, who lobbies the Legislature for Seminole schools. A little tinkering with state law "would change the equation in favor of the School Board," Julian pointed out.

If parents want to gripe, they could go to circuit court, he wrote. Julian and the School Board are awaiting an administrative judge's ruling on recent hearings over the rezoning of county high schools. Parents in the Sabal Point and Tuscawilla neighborhoods who brought the challenge vexed officials with a number of telling points they made about the school system's rezoning process.
