Subject: Board of Education Seeks Public Input on Redrawing Residency Districts
The Chatham County Board of Education is in the process of redrawing its residency districts.
Four versions of potential board residency redistricting maps were presented and discussed during the October 3rd board meeting following an initial discussion in September. During the October 3rd meeting, the board voted to have plan 4 as its proposed residency districting. All four maps are now available for public comment and, on Monday, November 7, the board will hold a hearing during its meeting that begins at 6:30 PM in the central office board room. The board will make a final decision after the public input period.
The maps are posted on the Chatham County Schools website under the following link: http://bit.ly/nzQuHZ
During its 2011 session, the North Carolina General Assembly granted permission to the Chatham County Board of Education to draw its own residency districts. The legislation also specified that board residency redistricting would occur prior to the filing date for the 2012 elections.
