Buckingham and Royal Palm: what to ask for

On April 26, 2026 the Lee County school district’s own Capital Planning Department listed seventeen things Royal Palm would need before it could safely receive the Buckingham population. Two free checklists built from that memo — the building items and your child’s separate rights — plus the internal documents themselves, published in full.

On April 26, 2026 the Lee County school district’s own Capital Planning Department listed what Royal Palm would need before it could safely receive the Buckingham population. These checklists are built from that document, and the document itself is published in full.

Seventeen things the district wrote down, and how to check each one got done

Every building item from the April 26 memo, quoted, with the code behind it, what finished actually looks like, and the exact record to ask for. Eighteen pages, ending with pages to write your own items and notes on.

The district’s internal documents, published in full

The April 26 Capital Planning memo and the internal notes, email and letters behind the transition, reproduced as received so you can read them yourself.

Your child’s rights are separate from the building

A code-compliant building does not answer a question about your child. The ADA and IEP track, which of the seventeen items also belongs to your child, the order the steps run in, and where the free help is. Fourteen pages. Items 8 to 10 were contributed by Sergio Cruz, Catalyst 4 Change.

Your child’s IEP is enforceable — parent handout and worksheet

What the district owes your child and what happens when it does not deliver, then a worksheet: what the plan says, what actually happened, and a state complaint you can copy out and file. Two pages, prints on one sheet, both sides.

The checklists are guides for asking questions and requesting records. They are information, not legal advice, and they do not allege that the merger is unlawful: the April 26 memo lists conditions to be met, not a finding that anything has been broken.
