DeKalb Schools Redistricting/Consolidation Meeting

The DeKalb County School System is in the process of a potentially major redistricting and school consolidation process for the 2011–2012 school year.  There are 5 public meeting scheduled to hear input about the Centralized Plan, the Decentralized Plan, and/or other ideas the public may have that could result in a thrid option.  This meeting is part of the public input workshops, which will be followed by the formal public hearing, and the presentation and approval of the redistricting and school consolidation recommendations by the School Board.

Of particular interest:  The Centralized Plan would remove the magnet program from Kitridge, Chamblee Middle and Chamblee High, and move them to Avondale Estates.

Meeting Place:  Chamblee High School
Meeting Time:  6:30

Maps of the Centralized and Decentralized options can be found on the DCSS website at http://www.dekalb.k12.ga.us/redistricting.
