Redistricting

Currently, our school’s enrollment is 284 students.  While enrollment is higher than last year, we have 5 empty classrooms in our building and Agnor-Hurt Elementary School is overcrowded by 200 students.  Recently, the school board approved the formation of a redistricting committee to review information and suggest solutions to the overcrowding.  This is important, as Broadus Wood could be a receiving school of relocated students.  We have two parent representatives on the redistricting committee, Cushing Cooper and Jane McBrian.  Although we have parent representation, the meetings are open to the public.  However, the public can only be observers at the committee meetings.  A public feedback meeting will take place in December to allow for possible solutions to be shared with the public prior to the suggestions going to the superintendent and school board for approval and will allow audience participation.  The link to the district's redistricting page is on the school’s website under the principal’s page.
