Gwinnett County is proposing a school redistricting plan that will affect thousands of students and urges parents to come to this Thursday’s meeting in order to give their feedback.

The redistricting is set for this fall and will affect 31 existing schools and over 13,000 students. Two of the elementary schools are to be joined with one middle school.

If you and your family are new Atlanta residents and live in Gwinnet County, local moving companies suggest that you attend the local council meetings in order to stay informed on what the correct district for your children will be, so that you can enroll them at the correct school in 2015.

The district proposed a plan that will establish attendance zones for numerous new schools, balance enrollment in existing schools, and discuss plans to create a new cluster of schools within Gwinnett County.

The plan was first launched in early October and has finally reached the stage where it is ready for public comment. Thursday’s meeting will be held from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the district’s instructional center in Suwanee.

If you will be moving to Atlanta during the beginning of December and will not be able to attend the first public meeting, there will be another held on December 18, before the School Board meeting where the Board of Education will be voting on the redistricting plan.
