TISD Public Hearing on Redistricting

TYLER � Tyler ISD is holding a public hearing on its redistricting plan this afternoon at 5:30 in the Birdwell Elementary School cafeteria, 2010 Talley Avenue. Officials say residents are invited to address proposed redistricting Illustrative Plan 1 concerning new boundaries for TISD trustee districts. Officials say the board will receive comments but will not discuss the plan or its relative merits. According to the 2010 Census data, the school district�s trustee districts are not of sufficiently equal population and must be redrawn in order to comply with the �one-person, one-vote� principle established by the U.S. Constitution. The hearing will be followed by the regular monthly school board meeting, also to be held in the Birdwell cafeteria.
