HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) -
Parents showed up for a
public forum at Huntsville High School Saturday morning to speak out about the
district's re-zoning plans.
The forum is part of a
series of meetings where school leaders are explaining proposed changes
involving closing some schools, opening new ones, and re-drawing district
lines.
Parents were able to walk
around Huntsville High School's gym to look at the plans and ask questions.
Not everyone is sold on the plans which is why school leaders are
looking for feedback.
"It's been 43 years
since the district has had a systematic approach to facilities and zone rights,
so this is a pretty key moment in our history. We wanted mom and dad to
understand, and businesses to understand, what's going on and have a chance to
talk to us," said Huntsville City Schools Superintendent Dr. Casey Wardynski.
If the school board approves the plan on Thursday, school
officials said the district will take it to federal court on Friday.
