Morningside Elementary, Springdale Park Rezoned Under Proposed Redistricting Maps

could be rezoned out of the cluster under the proposed redistricting maps currently under review.

Four proposed redistricting maps were released after Atlanta Public Schools conducted a demographics survey and hired demographers to look at capacity and cost issues in the district.

All four options would move Morningside out of the cluster.

Options three and four would combine with Hope-Hill Elementary to create a primary center model — kindergarten through second grade at one campus and third grade through fifth grade at the other.

Both options three and four would also move Morningside out of the Grady cluster entirely.

Parts of the Morningside neighborhood — Wildwood northward — would be zoned out of Morningside and into a proposed new elementary school under option three.

Superintendent Erroll Davis said in several community meetings that the maps are a starting point in the conversation and public input will be an important part of the process.

, he said he has yet to take a close look at the maps and expects to see new options once the series of public meetings is complete.

A meeting to discuss the demographic study is planned for Thursday, Dec. 1, from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Parkside Elementary School, 685 Mercer St. SE.
