Foreshadowing..?

Click here to watch a brief piece NBC12 ran on the impacts of school redistricting on parents and kids.

Take note of the mention at the very beginning about moving students from Godwin to Freeman.

Call it foreshadowing, because yesterday the School Board was presented with the 2 redistricting pairings. There was lengthy discussion among the School Board members of certain "issues" they are aware of with the current maps. In particular, the neighborhoods along Pemberton Road came up to be MOVED from Godwin to help raise low enrollment numbers at Freeman.

In fact, Lisa Marshall (our School Board member) raised the point to move us!

Moving OHR and the neighborhoods along Pemberton Road to Freeman is a REAL THREAT!!!!

If this bothers you, MAKE SOME NOISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It ain't over folks. Contact the School Board TODAY and ask them to keep us at Godwin!

Here are email addresses for the School Board:

Do something today, because tomorrow may be too late.
