APS Superintendent Announces Redistricting Meetings

APS Superintendent Erroll B. Davis Jr. will hold a community meeting on his redistricting plan from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 13, at

The meeting for School Reform Team 4, schools zoned to North Atlanta, is among several Davis will hold across the city, according to the APS Web site.

After receiving the concluding demographers' report on school redistricting, Davis is to submit his proposal to the Atlanta School Board, which will make the final decision.

“From the beginning, our goal has been to make this process transparent with input from parents and the community,” Davis said in a statement released by APS.  “The opportunity for public input will continue up to the point when the Atlanta Board of Education approves a redistricting plan for implementation beginning the next school year.”

The demographers have received community comments on Options A and B, which includes their plans for reducing overcrowding in Buckhead schools. Davis has said he will not be bound by the demographers' report in making his recommendation to the board.
