Redistricting

You are right. There are some schools where there is space. We are expecting about 1000 of the students who will come here as a result of BRAC at the beginning of the 2011 school year with the other 3000 coming shortly thereafter. As those children come and we see where they live in the county, we will have to consider whether or not redistricting is the answer to fill some of those empty seats. We have to time the redistricting well or we will have students changing schools every year or so which is difficult on the children. Many fast growing school districts redistrict every year and changing schools has become a way of life. I would hate to redistrict one year and the very next year have to do it again. Redistricting is a solution we may have to consider at some point. That, however, is never an easy answer and creates a lot of emotion in the community.
