After two rounds of comments and a final map, it's clear Fulton County schools don't listen to parents. The final draft map was presented on Monday night and basically 40% of Creekside students will now be zoned for South Fulton high and another 25% from Westlake.Parents are concerned about traffic flow and some special programming. Unless there's going to be a traffic light installed at Hall

Round two of the redistricting of the new unamed South Fulton High and West Stubbs Road Elementary schools are well underway. In round one parents from Sandtown MS clearly wanted the current zoning patterns for the middle schools to hold sway. Thirteen parents felt strong enough to give that idea a nod. Far more than any idea during the brainstorming session. What did the planning folks do. Split

South Fulton County its time to remove ourselves from the malaise that has overtaken us in Fulton County Schools District 4. I'm asking everyone to go to the polls and vote for a change. It's time to remove Linda Bryant from the Board and replace her with someone more responsive to our needs.Dr. Adrienne Berry is seeking the 4th District seat and she is more than capable in working in our best

Sandtown and the Association of West Cascade Communities (AWCC) are now in a dispute over Sandtown's desire to expand its overlay. The current overlay map shows Sandtown is seeking to pick up a swath running along New Hope Road right up to the Atlanta city limits including the Cascade Hills Subdivision along Cascade Road. My first thought is why go that far? What do those who live in those

At a time when the city of Atlanta is facing a massive budget deficit and unincorporated South Fulton facing a possible deficit of it own in 2009. Cliftondale and Sandtown communities are at odds on the boundary of their respective overlay districts. Fulton County approached each community after a developer showed interest in an area that sits in both overlays. Neither group could agree who has

The naysayers had South Fulton running scared if we didn't form a city or get annexed. We're still here. Is the financials as rosy as they should be - no. We're still here though.We are facing an incredible downturn in the economy. It's nothing short of the perfect storm. The mortgage crisis is choking the housing market to a large extent. Homes at certain price points are still selling in South

It's already February and a lot has happened and in happening in South Fulton...Can we do this again on Super Tuesday! Go VOTE!!!!The Superintendent Wilson is retiring in June... He was the third or forth Fulton Schools Super in a three year period...That's gotta be some kind of record. For the record Wilson did an admirable job under the circumstances. He'll be missed.There's a new Publix

What are your expectations for South Fulton County? The housing market has slowed and growth has slowed. New schools are in the works. Are there any new parks in the works to help relieve the overcrowded parks? Work is underway to get the youth crime under control.Rep. Roger Bruce has dropped a bill that will allow unincorporated South Fulton to keep its Local Option Sales Tax (LOST)

Of all the uninspiring things that could have been thrown at us in South Fulton is another WalMart. There are two others in South Fulton, Old National Hwy and Union City. Now with in it's infinite wisdom Union City strikes again. This time by approving the zoning for another one across from the Parkway Village on 92 and the Parkway. Now tell me why we need another Sam Walton store in South Fulton?

Now that we've voted to remain unincorporated how do we improve upon what we have?

The effort put forth to form a city of South Fulton went down without much of a fight in the end. What happened? Let's talk about it.

With the passage of HB725 and SB301 South Fulton residents are poised to cast their ballot for or against incorporating a new city and opening up Fulton Industrial Blvd. Unfortunately the vote will not take place until this fall. Thanks to the governor. Several scenarios could play out.1) If the city and Fulton Industrial district are approved there's going to be a race for mayoral and council.

If you believe in creating two new cities in South Fulton County this is where you can have your say.

The future of South Fulton is remains up in the air. There is one thing we know for sure, Chattahoochee Hills will not create its own city. They are asking to be annexed by Palmetto. For areas not adjacent to any city annexation may not be an option. The remaining options are voting for incorporation of a new city in June of 2007 or no voting for a new city and remain unincorporated. Remaining

For a number of years parents in South Fulton have fought with the Fulton County Board of Education over the treatment and lack of resources that are allocated to the schools in South County. As the BOE continue to pay lip service to serving S Fulton they are planning to come to us to support a third Special Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST III). Last year, they turned down a Lease Purchase

South Fulton is facing major changes in the next 18 months. I'm inviting you in to talk about those changes and what you think of them. Whether you're an annexation advocate, cityhood champion or for remaining unincorporated I would like to hear from you.
