New High School District Maps Online!

The High School Redistricting Subcommittee met last week to adjust the new boundary maps and approve the drafts to be reviewed during the Community Forums taking place January 5-7.

Representatives from neighborhoods along the Pemberton corridor were there in force - with at least 13 OHR residents among the 20 or so members of the public in attendance.

After several hours of discussion (and number crunching) the subcommittee presented 3 draft maps - NONE of which keep OHR at Godwin! In fact, the scenarios have our entire corridor going to either Freeman (2 maps) or Tucker (1 map).

HCPS will be posting these maps online later today. Click here to view.

If we have any chance of staying at Godwin, it is critical that we all attend and participate in the Community Forums coming up January 5-7. The public will be allowed to view the maps up close and leave written comment. The feedback received during these forums will be taken into consideration as the subcommittee prepares the FINAL map for the School Board to consider.

OHR needs a BIG turnout for the meetings!

Stay tuned for more info on the forums. Meantime, mark your calendar with these important dates.
