Since the 2009 Reassignment Plan was first released as a draft on November 15th, the concerned parents in nodes 383.3 and 384.4 have been working diligently to reverse the decision to move our neighborhoods to Athens Drive High School. In the process, many of our efforts have been covered by the local media.
