Update from HS Meeting Held Jan. 22

Several OHR residents attended the High School Subcommittee meeeting last night at Hermitage High School. Although some feedback from the Community Forums was presented to and discussed by committee members, the primary agenda item was to narrow the draft maps from three to two primary choices with very little attention to feeder patterns, comments, etc. at this point. With 19 of the 24 members present, High School Maps A and C were voted on to move forward:

Map A has the entire Pemberton corridor at Freeman HS.

Map C has a portion of the corridor at Tucker (including OHR).

NOTE: Although Map C is not a favorable scenario for us right now, further consideration and adjustments to this map by the subcommittee could help us in the long run. Map C has the most room for improvement, and because the southern portion of the Pemberton corridor is at Godwin in this scenario, and combined we as a corridor only have around 100 high school age children, there are fewer #'s that would need to be adjusted to draw us back into Godwin district.

The next High School Subcommittee meeting is Wednesday, February 11 at Hermitage High School Library where we expect to see more movements in the maps with feeder patterns studied and taken into consideration, along with continued public feedback.

Also, from subcommittee meetings held earlier in the week regarding ES and MS maps:

Elementary School: Maps C and D (OHR at Davis in C, and Pemberton in D)

Middle School: Maps A and D (OHR at Byrd MS in both scenarios)
