GDP Article: Schools mull new districts Proposed map released today
2009 Redistricting Information

Gwinnett County Public Schools is releasing today the proposed attendance zones for five elementary schools and one middle school opening in August.

The redistricting will affect the boundary lines for 29 existing schools and four clusters, said Greg Stanfield, the district’s planning director.

Maps of the proposed boundaries will be available today at affected schools and on the school district’s Web site, www.gwinnett.k12.ga.us.

“We want to balance enrollment to have the best distribution of students,” spokeswoman Sloan Roach said. “In this case, we are opening six new schools, and the redistricting process will allow us to create the student population for those schools.

The public is invited to provide input on the proposed boundaries. Input forms, available at schools and online, are due by Nov. 4.
