High School Redistricting and Crabapple Planning.

High School Redistricting Affects Milton Residents


Round 2 of the redistricting process by the Fulton County Board of Education (FCBOE) regarding altering current attendance zones began on March 16, 2011. The Board released three proposed maps, which modify the boundaries for middle schools and high schools north of the Chattahoochee River. All of our Milton community is affected by these proposals. Please submit your comments to the FCBOE. Even if you attended the meeting(s) or provided commentary last time, every voice makes a difference. These maps will continue to be modified based on citizen input which needs to include your opinions.

Use this
link to view the three proposed maps. Remember, these are preliminary and will continue to be modified.

In addition, you can submit comments regarding any of the modifications on the FCBOE website until 8:00 am on Monday, March 21, 2011. The comment button can be found on the bottom corner of the main redistricting website page or use this
link.

Round 3 will begin on April 13, 2011 with another community meeting at Alpharetta High School. At that meeting, the Board will present two new maps which will reflect concerns and comments submitted by the community during Round 2.

Crabapple Design Open House & Presentation of Sketch Review


On Monday, March 21 at 7:00 p.m., following the regular City Council meeting, Lew Oliver will present preliminary sketches at the Council Chambers. Community members are encouraged to attend this meeting and provide initial input and questions as the design process.
These sketches will be posted at the City of Milton's Web site, on the home page and linked from the day's calendar event.

Design Open Houses

Non-structured design open houses will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at City Hall weekdays through Tuesday, March 29. The public is invited to stop by and provide input or ask questions during these times. Comment cards will also be available for written input.


Progress Meetings
There are also two progress meetings scheduled for Tuesday, March 22 and Friday, March 25 at 4 p.m. at Milton City Hall. These meetings will include drawings and presentations on how the planning is evolving based on the input from the previous meetings.
