CSD adds Map 9 as a K-3 redistricting option

Decatur Metro has been informed a Map 9 has been added to Maps 4 and Maps 8 as another option for redistricting K-3 zones, in response to resident feedback. It strives to keep traditional neighborhoods intact.

Links to all three maps still on the table can be found here. You can comment under each map. All the resource documents are linked from this page.

The Board of Education will consider an action item regarding enrollment maps at their regularly-scheduled meeting on December 14, 2010. It appears, from the front page of the CSD site, there's a work session tonight at 6:30 p.m.

A 10/4/2010 letter to the BOE from Dr. Edwards laid out the 10 assumptions upon which the options were developed.

 

 

 

Drew Belline to be chef at restaurant replacing Eurasia

From John Kessler:

Publicist Melissa Libby confirmed today that Drew Belline, the longtime chef at Floataway Cafe, will be the chef at the as-yet-unnamed new Decatur restaurant from JCT Kitchen & Bar’s Ford Fry. The restaurant, which will take over the Eurasia Bistro space on E. Ponce de Leon Ave., will be casual and contemporary, with Italian overtones to the cooking. Fry cites San Francisco’s A16 as inspiration.

No word yet on a time line.
