Limited Choice transfer requests deadline, Mar. 23
Marietta, GA– Marietta City Schools (MCS) today announced limited choice at three schools
within the district that have the capacity, namely, A.L. Burruss, West Side and Hickory Hills
Elementary for 2007-08. The program is part of the recently completed strategic plan, and
directly supports the district’s vision to be “…the school system of choice for families.”
“School choice is best defined as empowering parents to select the educational
environment they feel is best suited for their child,” states MCS Superintendent Dr. Emily
Lembeck. “School choice is parental choice. For now, we will offer limited choice at three of our
schools, and we will add other schools in the future.”
The school board’s recent decision to keep Hickory Hills Elementary open provided new
direction to the Superintendent regarding options for other district schools. In particular, the
limited choice model creates opportunities to develop unique programs, assists schools
experiencing declining enrollment, and provides relief for those schools affected by continued
growth resulting from ongoing citywide redevelopment.
The school district will send information to parents and guardians of current MCS
students regarding the limited choice program during the week of Feb. 26. Anyone wishing to
apply for the limited choice program should complete the appropriate documentation and submit
it to their school by the application deadline of Mar. 23, 2007.

Yet another example of how the rich and white are continuing to fracture our school system in order to create their own publicly funded private schools.
