READ THE FULL DUNWOODY SCHOOL DAZE ARTICLE THEN: TAKE THE SURVEY TO OFFER YOUR OPINIONS
Below are the 3 options DCSD is recommending to address the overcrowding within Region 1. The next meeting to discuss will be held at Cross Keys HS, Thursday, August 25th @ 6:30.
Option A: Re-clusters current Cross Keys HS cluster, adds a new Sequoyah area HS cluster and adds a new middle school for CKHS at the former Briarcliff HS site on North Druid Hills Road. Option A moves 600 students from Dunwoody HS to new Sequoyah HS and 450 PCMS students to Sequoyah MS.
Option B: Re-clusters current Cross Keys HS cluster, creates a new Cross Keys HS at the former Briarcliff HS site on North Druid Hills and repurposes the current Cross Keys HS facility as a middle school. This option also recommends split feeders within Regions 1, 2 and 3 – the chart below indicates that 30% of the Sequoyah MS student population would be attending Dunwoody HS. This option moves 450 students from PCMS to Sequoyah MS and a 600 seat addition to Dunwoody HS. Good luck finding room for that addition.
Just want to clarify something for you — they are a long way from redistricting…. these meetings and the survey are to figure out what to do about the overcrowding of the secondary schools in N. DeKalb. Then, (if new schools are the solution) land must be located, schools must be built and only then will lines be drawn.
People were disappointed at the meeting last night that lines weren’t discussed, but that isn’t where the system is in the process.
