A month after federal investigators determined that Robertson County Schools have not desegregated, officials have released a proposed redistricting plan.
Robertson County Director of Schools Mike Davis told The Tennessean on Monday that the new attendance zones were developed by the federal government, not the local school board.
The district in Middle Tennessee was notified in early September that federal investigators had finished their review of its schools and found them to be in non-compliance. A letter posted on the school system's website says it is required to enter into a settlement agreement or it could lose all federal funding.
Public forums over the changes proposed by the Department of Justice will be held at schools in the district throughout October.
