December 18th Re-Districting Committee Meeting
Wednesday, December 27th, 2006| The redistricting committee for the Siler City and Silk Hope areas met on Monday, December 18, at 4:00 p.m. at Siler City Elementary School. The committee had planned its next meeting for January 4, but the OR/Ed. Lab requested an additional meeting for map suggestion clarification. The suggestions were made during the December 13 meeting.
During the December 18th meeting Mike Miller, Program Manager with the OR/Ed. Lab, worked with the committee to clarify and adapt the optimal elementary scenarios for the 2007-08 Siler City area re-districting. Miller will now take the suggestions and create updated maps from them. The maps will be available at Siler City Elementary School, Silk Hope School, the central office, and on the district website as soon as they are completed. The goal of the school system is to have the maps accessible for families to view over the holiday and give feedback before the next redistricting committee and Board of Education meetings. The district website contains an email link for making redistricting comments and suggestions. The redistricting committee meeting scheduled for Thursday, January 4, remains on the calendar. The meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m. and be held at Siler City Elementary School. The Chatham County Board of Education will have redistricting on its January 8 work session agenda. |
