Five proposed

changes to attendance zone lines previously approved for the 2001-2002

school year were presented to the Fulton County Board of Education during

its November board meetings.

Planning,

research and policy and transportation services staff members proposed

the changes with input from several other Fulton County School System

departments.

Staff proposed

changes to accommodate issues that have arisen since the lines were

approved in December 1999.

The following

represents the proposed changes to the 2001-2002 attendance zone lines

presented to the Fulton County Board of Education during its November

meetings.

About 50

students in the Rhodes Plantation and Hopewell Plantation areas approved

for redistricting to Manning Oaks Elementary School will remain at Alpharetta

ES. This prevents multiple moves for students that would feed into future

new school.

About 100

students approved for redistricting to Big Creek ES site will go to

Lake Windward ES.

The neighborhood

is closer to Lake Windward and frees up capacity at Big Creek ES to

accommodate growth and makes better use of capacity at Lake Windward

ES and Esther Jackson ES.

About 100

students approved for redistricting to Scott Road ES site will remain

at Esther Jackson ES.

This makes

the best use of instructional capacity at Esther Jackson ES and accommodates

growth in the Scott Road ES site attendance area.

About 10

students approved to remain at Mimosa will be moved to Hembree ES site

because the students are closer to Hembree ES site.

About 180

students approved to remain at Northwestern Middle School will be moved

to Hembree Road MS site to reduce the overcrowding at Northwestern MS

and make better use of available capacity at Hembree Road MS.
