- Ensuring Pine Hills' security through a strong relationship with the Atlanta Police Department and privately sponsored security patrols
- Monitoring changes in traffic patterns that will affect Pine Hills residents, such as the I-85/GA400 interchange project
- Staying abreast of developments that affect Atlanta Public Schools, including potential redistricting decisions

APS Redistricting Proposals Adversely Affect Pine Hills!
At a meeting at North Atlanta High School this week, Atlanta Public Schools unveiled four proposals aimed at redistricting the school system. You can view the related documents on APS's Web site: http://www.atlantapublicschools.us/Page/413.
All proposals:
- Remove Pine Hills from the Sarah Smith district and into Garden Hills;
- Remove Pine Hills from Sutton Middle School, an International Baccalaureate school, into a new non-IB certified school to be built in south Buckhead/Morningside;
- Send Pine Hills students to a 9th grade academy to be housed at the current Sutton Middle School location;
- Send Pine Hills students to the new North Atlanta High School to be built on the northwest Fulton/Cobb county border.
For homeowners who purchased houses specifically to be in the Sarah Smith district, these options almost certainly present a threat to property values. Consequently, even if you have no children currently attending APS, you will be affected by the decisions made by the district.
According to our school board representative, Nancy Meister (nmeister@atlanta.k12.ga.us), the plan is in the preliminary stages and subsequent changes will likely be made based on community input.
Therefore, it is vital that you take the time to :
- Carefully review the options and maps on APS' Web site.
- Complete the APS feedback form voicing your opinion on the proposed changes before December 16: . Note: this form does not give you a "none of the above" option for the choices presented. It is more important that you complete the open-ended questions on the second page of the survey.
- "Like" the new Facebook page Sarah Smith and Sutton Redistricting to stay up to date and communicate with your neighbors.
- Attend future meetings and voice your opinion at them. We'll keep you posted on dates, locations and times. Also periodically check the APS web site, Sarah Smith and Sutton Web sites for this information.
