New District Pairings Heads to School Board

The redistricting subcommittee work has concluded. However, our efforts need to continue as we focus on the School Board.

Adjustments were made this week by the High School committee and the position of Pemberton corridor changed since the Community Forums early in March. Please note:

Pairing 1 - Pemberton Corridor is Davis-Byrd - FREEMAN
Pairing 2 - Pemberton Corridor is Davis - Byrd - GODWIN

BOTH pairings will go to the School Board for their review. A vote took place last evening by the entire redistricting committee consisting of Elementary, Middle and High School representatives. The official vote to endorse Pairing 2 was favored only by a narrow margin. Current maps and pairing information can be viewed here.

We need to remain active on this issue! Looking ahead, another online feedback process will take April 25 - May 7, recommendations will be heard by the School Board for the first time on April 23 and Public Hearings will take place May 13 and 14. The final School board vote will be May 28.

Stay tuned for more information.
