I don't think it will either.  Lenoir City is growing like crazy and up 6% just from last years student population for the school system.  They are building an all purpose facility with a 1 cent per dollar sales tax increase so could attract some kids from the county or Farragut

IF and that is a big IF the county school is opened LC will drop enrollment big time!! 70% of the schools enrollment is technically county kids. the second BIG IF is the indoor facility only happens IF the sales tax increase passes......

I was told that the indoor facility is happening regardless of the vote on the taxes but it would be a much bigger project with more funds if they vote goes through

I find it hard to believe that 70% of a schools enrollment is zoned for another school district

So the county itself is open enrollment but has city and county schools?

Well per the State and per TSSAA an open enrollment school is any school that has a transfer policy on file with their school board that will allow someone not zoned for that school to attend. (Must provide their own transportation and keep in good standing with the school both academically and  behaviorally or they will kick you out.  Usually will charge a fee between city and county taxes if one is a City School).  Now getting an approval might be easier in some school systems than other but the same rules would apply.
