Proposed DeKalb School Changes as Preliminary Master Plan is released, DHA Candidate Forum on Oct 13th, New Dunwoody Park Plans include Splash Pads and Girls Softball Facilities



Preliminary - DeKalb County School System Comprehensive Master Plan

For our cluster, the DeKalb County School System suggests turning Austin and the new Shallowford (to be built on Chamblee Dunwoody in Georgetown) into K-8, adding an Early Learning Center to Kingsley, rebuilding Hightower and redistricting the new Shallowford and Hightower students to the Chamblee Cluster. This will reduce both Peachtree and Dunwoody student populations. Note there are no planned projects suggested for Peachtree or Dunwoody High School, and only new HVAC systems for Chesnut and Kingsley. Also, note that nothing seems to change for at least two years as the construction of Shallowford is two years out and Hightower is 5 plus years out.  More information will be coming on October 26th during the Regional Townhall - link below.

Dunwoody Homeowners Association Candidate Forum will be streamed via Facebook

DHA Candidate Forum
City Council District Races
October 13, 2021 7 PM | Facebook Live

The traditional moderator is the sitting DHA president.  Occasionally a news editor has been invited to participate.  In the past the forums have been held at local swim/tennis clubs or at the Dunwoody High School auditorium.

Questions are collected from the public via an online form.  DHA exec board members coallate the questions for each race.  Candidates do not know the questions prior to the forum and they do not play a role in setting the format.

Submit your questions for Candidate Forum.

Three Dunwoody City Council seats are on the Nov. 2 ballot, with six candidates vying in the races. Reporter Newspapers asked each candidate their views on pressing city topics.

Advance voting for the November 2, 2021, General Election/Special Election will take place at the Dunwoody Library from October 12 through October 29, Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Weekend advance voting days are October 16 and October 23 with available hours from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m.




 Halloween

One more thing - Briers North will not be hosting Halloween crowds this year

Halloween 2021 Cancellation in the Briers North Subdivision off Tilly Mill

Due to Covid-19, we again made a decision to cancel trick-or-treating this year in Briers North. Our traditional Halloween candy and decorations will be absent. We will revisit the situation next year - hopefully we will be able to resume in 2022.  If you've never been, it was always quite a sight, and kudos to the many families who would put on this event year after year.
