Now that Hill City homes will be zoned for Normal Park Museum Magnet School, school board members want to consider the One North Shore condominiums for inclusion, too.
The Hamilton County school board voted 5-4 on Nov. 3 to allow Hill City residents into the Normal Park zone. A previous agreement to include Hill City was never implemented because officials said the school was overcrowded.
Families covet inclusion in Normal Park, a high-performing school that draws from a neighborhood zone and takes magnet students from across the county.
Now, board members Chip Baker and Linda Mosley want to consider rezoning One North Shore, the high-end condominium complex on Manufacturers Road across from the complex that holds Greenlife Grocery, into Normal Park. But other school officials are wary of more expansion of the school’s zone.
