Redistricting Could Impact Roswell Students

A new high school in North Fulton for Johns Creek is currently under construction at the intersection of State Bridge Road and Medlock Bridge Road scheduled to open August 2009. The new high school will impact current Roswell students because existing attendance zones will be modified to create the new school’s attendance zone. The redistricting may impact Centennial, Northview and Chattahoochee High Schools.

Redistricting is determined by a round of three community meetings to gather information needed to draft a redistricting proposal that meets the North Fulton community’s needs.

Round 1: Introduces the redistricting process, residents form small groups and participate in facilitated discussions, and the staff gathers information to create proposals to the board.

Round 2: Reviews the redistricting process, introduces the proposed attendance zone plans, facilitated discussions, and staff gathers input to revise the proposals into draft plans.

Round 3: Reviews the process again, reviews the draft plan(s), facilitated discussions, and staff gathers input to finalize a recommendation for the Board of Education.

Once the staff has submitted its recommendation to the Board of Education the plans “sit on the table” for no less than a month to allow the staff to make alterations. The board then takes its final vote for the redistricting plans in September 2008.

At the first redistricting meeting, there were roomfuls of parents from the other two schools and just 7 people from Centennial. Roswell residents will need to be in attendance to ensure they have a say in the redistricting process.
