Clearer zones urged for schools
Chattanooga Realtors last week urged Hamilton County Schools Superintendent Rick Smith to better define current and future school zones to help prospective home buyers make purchasing decisions.
Mark Hite, president of the Greater Chattanooga Association of Realtors, said the school board needs to make a decision on changes in school boundaries to limit uncertainty about which properties are in what school zone.
“New homebuyers rely heavily on school zones when making decisions on where their family live,” Hite said. “The sooner these decisions are make, the sooner we can have answers to our clients and newcomers to the greater Chattanooga area.”
Smith acknowledged the need for such clarity.
