Redistricting Community Forums Coming Up Next Week!

The County will host three Community Forums this coming week seeking citizen comment on proposed school boundaries.

Draft maps have Oldhouse Run and much of the Pemberton corridor being moved out of Godwin district into either Tucker or Freeman.

Right now, Godwin is not even an option for OHR! We need full neighborhood participation at these forums if we have a chance to stay at Godwin!

Community Forums will take place from 6-7:30pm on January 5, 6 & 7 at the following locations:

January 5 – Hermitage High School

January 6 – Elko Middle School

January 7 – Godwin High School

All school maps will be available for review and comment. Here are quick links to the draft Elementary, Middle and High School maps.

Public comment will be accepted in writing. Suggested terms to use for this purpose are as follows:

1. Remain at Godwin
2. Strength of COMMUNITY along Pemberton corridor at Godwin High
3. Unique curriculum offerings at Godwin and CONTINUITY of programs such as Athletics, Band, String, Chorus, etc. between Byrd and Godwin
4. Need to minimize effects of redistricting on our community

Please plan to attend at least one of these Community Forums!
