Don’t forget that the City Schools of Decatur is holding a Community Meeting this evening at 6p to discuss rezoning the elementary schools to incorporate Westchester Elementary back into the mix.

If you missed our earlier post on the subject, check it out HERE.  You can also check out CSD’s dedicated page for this effort – HERE.

We haven’t seen the three current options under consideration online yet, but we’ve heard they’re likely be available after the meeting this evening.  Stay tuned.

Correction!  The map options are available on the CSD website.  See here!

The Board will hold a Worksession on Tuesday, October 12, 2010 at 5:30 pm to begin a month of discussion regarding the Redistricting Maps for K-3 schools. This Worksession allows Board members to hear information and ask questions, but there is not a time for public comment. The Board will set two dates for Board listening sessions that will happen over the next 30 days before the intended final vote on a preferred map at the regularly-scheduled Board meeting on November 9, 2010. Once these listening sessions are scheduled, the dates will be broadly communicated to the Decatur community.

The 7 maps being considered can be viewed at http://fiscalresearch.gsu.edu/decatur/. For community members that would rather read a narrative description of the enrollment zone, these details will be posted shortly before the Worksession.

Following the Board meeting, the individual map websites will be activated to include a comment box. All comments will be aggregated and compiled for the Board to consider.

Dr. Edwards has published a memo to the Board detailing the process and the assumptions underlying this future work.
