Road to Redistricting: New Maps Available & Upcoming Community Meeting Reminder
As part of the ongoing School Boundary Redistricting Process, two new proposed boundary maps—the Red and Indigo plans—are now available for the community to view and provide feedback on.
New Proposed Boundary Maps
Indigo Map
- Balances utilization between George Washington and Francis C Hammond Middle Schools.
- Moves study areas to closer schools.
Red Map
- Provides an alternative solution to the utilization issues at Samuel W. Tucker, James K. Polk and Patrick Henry Elementary Schools.
- Increases the numbers of communities that need transportation.
- Hinders the school division’s efforts to create neighborhood schools.
- Brings more balance to utilization to the East End.
- Lowers the projected utilization of Naomi L Brooks Elementary School.
