Some Hamilton County students could find themselves attending new schools if a rezoning proposal wins approval from the Board of Education.
The board held a facilities planning meeting Monday evening where administrators shared a rezoning proposal that would move East Ridge High School students living north of Interstate 24 and Hixson High students living south of the Tennessee River to Brainerd High School in an effort to relieve overcrowding.
The proposed rezone would also move East Ridge Middle School students living north of I-24 to Dalewood Middle School.
An official vote on the proposal will take place no later than February and would take effect next fall, Superintendent Justin Robertson said Monday.
Both East Ridge High and East Ridge Middle are over 100% capacity, while Brainerd High and Dalewood Middle have room to spare.
