In what is becoming an annual tradition, the Coweta County Board of Education unveiled new attendance lines Tuesday night that carved up the county to prepare for the opening of two new schools next fall.

The system is set to open Arbor Springs Elementary and Smokey Road Middle School to deal with the county's staggering growth. Last fall, the system opened Poplar Road Elementary and Madras Middle School, and the growth rate shows no sign of slowing down, said operations director Doug Bennett.

The biggest impact in the proposed lines would occur at Canongate Elementary. Currently, the school's students come from north of Sharpsburg-McCollum Road. The new lines would cut the district in half and keep students who live east of Interstate 85 at Canongate, while students west of the interstate would go to Arbor Springs.

The new school would also take 80 students from Northside Elementary and have a projected enrollment of 503. Canongate would also have a student population of 503, while Northside would have 406 students.

On the middle school side, Bennett presented two plans for the public's opinion. The first plan is a feeder plan that would route students from a certain middle school to a high school.

Students at O.P.Evans and Smokey Road would go to Newnan High School, while students at East Coweta Middle and Arnall would be routed to East Coweta High School. Students at Madras Middle School would be "fed" to Northgate High School.

The feeder plan projects 736 students at Evans, 758 at Smokey Road, 675 at East Coweta, 690 at Arnall and 771 at Madras.

The second plan would expand the boundaries of East Coweta Middle and Arnall Middle.

Projections for the second plan place 749 students at Evans, 737 students at Smokey Road, 698 at East Coweta Middle, 730 at Arnall Middle and 716 at Madras.

Bennett emphasized that the high school lines would remain the same and that these lines are temporary until the system gets feedback from the parents.
