Community meetings set to discuss Hoover school rezoning
Hoover schools Superintendent Kathy Murphy has scheduled five community meetings over the next two months to discuss the need to redraw school attendance zones in some parts of Hoover, school officials announced today.
No specific rezoning plan for Hoover City Schools has been developed yet, so no maps or proposals will be shared, according to a post on the school system website. Parents and residents are welcome to share any questions or comments they may have, school officials said. People are being asked to attend the meeting specific to their school for space reasons, but anyone is welcome at any of the meetings, Murphy said.
Here is the meeting schedule:
- Tuesday, Oct. 6 – Meeting for Brock’s Gap Intermediate School will be at the school at 1730 Lake Cyrus Club Drive at 6:30 p.m.
- Thursday, Oct. 8 – Meeting for Trace Crossings and South Shades Crest elementary schools, Bumpus Middle School and Hoover High School will be at Hunter Street Baptist Church at 2600 John Hawkins Parkway at 6:45 p.m.
