Redistricting

Considerations for Redistricting of School Attendance Zones

The school attendance plan for Guilford County Schools is designed to foster the mission of public education, to include promotion of higher levels of academic achievement and good citizenship development, by:

• recognizing and valuing diversity;
• using  clearly defined boundaries, where practical;
• working toward common feeder patterns throughout the district;
• organizing schools in a K-5, K-8, 6-8, and 9-12 pattern generally;
• seeking to avoid changing an attendance zone more often than every four (4) years; and
• encouraging participation by all citizens in our schools.

The plan should serve the economic interest of taxpayers by:

• efficiently utilizing transportation dollars;
• anticipating needs for additional schools or additions to existing facilities in areas of high growth and communicating to the public these needs in a timely way;
• anticipating and communicating to the public the need to have all facilities meet approved health, safety, environmental, and educational standards applicable to public schools; and
• seeking to utilize school facilities fully and efficiently.

The following maps reflect attendance lines that were approved by the Board of Education to be effective with the 2006-07 and the 2007-08 school years.
