Fayette County scales back redistricting

Fayette County decided Monday not to redistrict approximately 34 Peachtree City students living off South McIntosh Trail out of Huddleston Elementary. The county had proposed shifting feeder patterns to alleviate crowding, but encountered strong opposition from parents. However, starting next year, Huddleston will no longer acccept open enrollment or special permission transfer students.

Spot redistricting will still occur in Fayetteville, where new students in LaFayette Park will be sent to Fayette Elementary rather than Spring Hill. Residents of the new Meridian at LaFayette apartments will also attend Fayette Elementary, while children living at the new Oakleigh Manor subdivision will attend Spring Hill.
