Redistricting Process Timeline
Residents of Fulton County are assigned to a school attendance zone based on their residential address. When new schools or additional classroom capacity are added in a region, or imbalances of enrollment and capacity exist, the Board may direct staff to review attendance boundaries for modifications. This process of revising attendance boundaries is called redistricting.
Please visit the website https://www.fultonschools.org/Page/25448 for more information on redistricting in Fulton County Schools.
