Comments on: December 18th Re-Districting Committee Meeting http://chathamnc.net/tottenblog/2006/12/27/dec18redistricting/ School Information & Analysis by Gerald Totten Sun, 20 May 2012 12:02:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: gertot http://chathamnc.net/tottenblog/2006/12/27/dec18redistricting/#comment-9 gertot Sat, 17 Feb 2007 00:39:37 +0000 #comment-9 Each member of the board has one vote. I have heard nothing about the board redrawing the district lines themselves and feel common sense will prevail. Like you and the other folks with children I'd like to be able to put this chapter behind us on the 26th. You deserve to know. The majority at our meeting at Siler City Elementary favored the "D" map as did I. Ms. McManus voted that way too I believe. My opinion has not changed nor have I heard from Norman Clark who was on the committee but could not be at the last meeting. Thank you for your kind words about my support of Silk Hope - I hope folks from all over the county will feel that way too. Each member of the board has one vote.

At the last meeting Deborah McManus was really not happy with the results the redistricting commitee came up with. She was pushing to fill the Virginia Cross School with Silk Hope children not taking into account the length of the bus routes. Parents were becoming frustrated with her comments. Silk Hope is a proud community. There is alot of history as generations of residents have attended the school. You understand this history and we appreciate it. We are all concerned about the upcoming Board of Education meeting. With Deborah McManus's reaction on the 6th many are wondering if the Board members are going to reject the proposals and redraw the lines themselves. It is my hope you will not let this happen. We are all anxious for this redistricting process to come to an end. Mr. Totten, I have been very impressed with your support of the Silk Hope Community during this whole redistricting process.
