The SCORe alternative plan to DeKalb County School System’s Redistricting proposals, as published on January 4, 2011, is a more logical and less disruptive approach to redistricting. The SCORe plan achieves the goals of better utilization of facilities, operational efficiency and cost reduction for the 2011–12 school year and beyond. A group of Cluster Two parents began delving into why the County’s proposed redistricting plans affected 16,100 students but only filled 5,444 of the 11,310 open seats.
The guiding principles of the SCORe plan are to:
· Minimize unnecessary disruption to students and families
· Keep neighborhoods intact
· Reduce unnecessary increases in distance and commute times
· Minimize traffic congestion in densely traveled districts
· Eliminate the creation of new split feeder schools
· Utilize logical boundaries for school districts wherever possible
· Consider geographic proximity and walking distances to schools
· Cause no harm to neighboring schools or clusters through recommendations
The SCORe alternative proposal more effectively meets the DCSS stated redistricting goals and better aligns with the system’s primary and secondary criteria than either the centralized or decentralized plans offered by the county.

We hit 250 signatures and the school board can no longer pretend this is just a minor disagreement. They are pushing a ridiculous plan that ignores common sense but our numbers prove they have a massive fight on their hands.

PLEASE listen to the parents on this one. My kids are already stressed enough with the constant changes.
Ridiculous how the county comes up with these ideas without thinking about the families. Good job guys.
The county board is not listening to us. The SCORe plan makes way more sense for our neighborhoods.
Keep our communities together. Tired of these pointless moves.
Finally some logic. Way better than the mess they proposed.

THIS IS COMMON SENSE. Why do they make it so complicated when there is a better option right in front of them???
