302 – What the Student Assignment Project Could Mean for Redistricting in Dunwoody – Andrew Ziffer – DCSD Board

Podcast 302 – What the Student Assignment Project Could Mean for Redistricting in Dunwoody – Andrew Ziffer – DCSD Board   Two developments are shaping the conversation around Dunwoody schools this Fall. Friday night football is finally coming to DHS. After decades of playing at North DeKalb Stadium, Dunwoody High School will soon have bathrooms, a press box, and the 3,000 seats required to host true varsity home games. Community fundraising, a green light from the DeKalb County School Board, and support from major donors have set the project in motion.   But while high school families are celebrating, parents with younger kids are watching the Student Assignment Project unfold. DeKalb County is reviewing enrollment, capacity, and long-term plans, and redistricting is very much on the table. I ask DCSD District 1 Board Representative Andrew Ziffer about the rumors that Chesnut and Vanderlyn Elementary could be merged or closed, and he explains how those concerns fit into the bigger picture of balancing resources across the county. Change is coming to DeKalb schools, but how much of it will affect Dunwoody?   Website: https://whatsupdunwoody.com/podcast-302-what-the-student-assignment-project-could-mean-for-redistricting-in-dunwoody-andrew-ziffer-dcsd-board/     What’s Up Dunwoody Links:   🎧 All the podcast episodes. whatsupdunwoody.com/podcasts   🔥 Local events around the city. whatsupdunwoody.com/events   🍔 Dunwoody restaurant guide. whatsupdunwoody.com/food   🏠 Homes for sale. whatsupdunwoody.com/homes   🦷 Best orthodontist in town. whatsupdunwoody.com/village   🚎 Dunwoody trolley tour. whatsupdunwoody.com/tour   📍 Find local businesses. whatsupdunwoody.com/local   🛎️ Book a hotel staycation. whatsupdunwoody.com/hotels   📫 Join our email list. whatsupdunwoody.com/email   ⚽️ Get to know Matt. whatsupdunwoody.com/matt   🦸🏻‍♂️ Origin story of the podcast. whatsupdunwoody.com/origins   👕 What’s Up Dunwoody merch. whatsupdunwoody.com/merch
