Roswell Parents Stage Redistricting Traffic Nightmare

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has a story on local parents who drove to Milton High School this morning to show how unsafe and congested the roads would be following the proposed redistricted lines.

A 50-car caravan from two Roswell neighborhoods to Milton High School this morning was an effort to show the Fulton County School Board of Education just what an impact the proposed redistricting would have on local roads, according to a story by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Some residents of Edenwilde recently sent out a invitation to community members which invited them to make the drive to Milton this morning at 7:55 a.m.

It's the same drive that students who currently attend would have to make if school board members approve a plan which sends them to Milton High School instead. Several Summerhill Farms residents also joined the caravan from the Edenwilde Clubhouse to Milton, reports the AJC.
