There are not enough public schools in Gwinnett. That is a fact. The last school my children went to (before homeschooling) had 25% as many trailers as classrooms. (1 classroom trailer for every 4 classrooms) After adding a second floor to a portion of the school, the amount of trailers has not decreased. This is not unique to this school. It is rampant in Metro Atlanta.
The solution... build new schools. But after the new schools are built who will go to them. This is why a redistricting plan is needed. Parents are not happy.
Perhaps new students can go to the new schools, and existing students can stay in their current schools if they wish.. But this would be a complicated approach to leveling out the number of students enrolled in each school.
Meanwhile here are the important dates you should be aware of
Here's a look at key dates in the redistricting process:
•Nov. 1: Deadline for people to weigh in on the plan by completing a comment form for the school system to review.
•Nov. 13: Public meeting to discuss proposed attendance boundaries — 7 to 9 p.m. in the board room at the Instructional Support Center at 437 Old Peachtree Road in Suwanee.
•Nov. 15: A second public meeting — 7 to 9 p.m. in the board room at the Instructional Support Center at 437 Old Peachtree Road in Suwanee.
• Dec. 5: Revised redistricting maps released.
•Dec. 13: School board votes on redistricting plan.
