Chesnut Parent Advisory Council, Dunwoody North Civic Association and the Dunwoody North Driving Club all speak with one voice rejecting the redistricting proposal presented by @DeKalbSchools

Formal Letters of opposition to DeKalb's Redistricting by Chesnut, DNCA & DNDC

Dear Dr. Green, Mr. Drake, Mr. Williams, Dr. Johnson and Board Members:

Thank you for inviting community feedback on the Austin Elementary Redistricting process. We write today to clarify Chesnut Elementary PAC’s position, based on stakeholder feedback, and thank you for considering our community’s needs. Unfortunately, we cannot approve any of the three redistricting options provided on Oct. 23rd, because none of them benefit our school. They all propose an overall reduction in our student enrollment and they all divide the DNCA neighborhood along the Tilly Mill corridor.

A. Splitting the DNCA Violates Redistricting Criteria and Hurts Chesnut

• Sending DNCA families east of Tilly Mill Road (area D of Option 2) to Kingsley does not comply with the first criterion (Geographic Proximity) of the Board Policy on Alteration of School Attendance Areas — by increasing their distance to school by 33 to 62 percent.
• At Chesnut, 40% of PAC Council parent seats and PAC Action Team parent volunteers are filled by parents in the DNCA area east of Tilly Mill Road. Withdrawing these families would significantly diminish parent leadership at Chesnut, to the detriment of the efficient running of Chesnut’s robust academic and community initiatives.

 B. Chesnut Willing To Share in Cluster Overcrowding

• Rather than lose students, we welcome a slight increase in enrollment.
• We are open to discussing scenarios, such as the addition of Dunwoody Elementary’s Area E on Option 2, that may slightly increase Chesnut’s enrollment, in an effort to equitably distribute the number of portables across the six Dunwoody cluster schools.
  
  Chesnut’s Reality: Not Severely Overcrowded
  
• With a current student enrollment of 473, Chesnut is actually 110% utilized.
• Chesnut’s stated School Capacity on Oct. 23 was misreported as 358, inflating Chesnut’s utilization rate to 135%, making Chesnut appear to be as overcrowded as Vanderlyn and more overcrowded than DES.
• Our school building’s actual Instructional Capacity is 428 students, as reported on the corrected Oct. 28th Facility Capacity Report.
• We challenge the 15% reduction applied to our 428 Instructional Capacity, termed the Scheduling Factor [a “reduction of total [student capacity] to account for the number of periods the room is not used and allow for teacher allotments”].
• While a Scheduling Factor of 85% may help determine classroom funding, when assessing our building’s Instructional Capacity, it is an unrealistic manipulation of the data, because homerooms are static. No homeroom class can be accommodated by utilizing a combination of classrooms during the 15% of the day each of the other rooms is not in use.
• Chesnut’s lower field is able to accommodate 4th grade in portables while leaving adequate field, track and playground space for students to play during recess. There is room for an additional trailer to accommodate a slight increase in our enrollment.

C. Adhering to Redistricting Criteria

We therefore urge you, as you consider rezoning options, to maintain or slightly increase Chesnut’s current size, and keep the DNCA area whole, in accordance with the following redistricting criteria.

• Primary Criteria
  1. Geographic Proximity - We ask all DNCA neighborhoods east of Tilly Mill Road remain in Chesnut district, as they are all closer to Chesnut than Kingsley (per above table). If Perimeter Gardens (Area E in Option 2) were rezoned to Chesnut, they would be .3 miles closer to school than they are to DES.
  
  2. Instructional Capacity - Any proposal that ultimately reduces the number of students at Chesnut will cause our small school to lose funding for teachers and instructional support staff, undercutting our proven method of delivering an excellent education for all students. We prefer to welcome additional students from overcrowded areas to retain our working education model.
  
• Secondary Criteria
  1. Safety and Traffic Patterns - Moving DNCA students east of Tilly Mill Road to Kingsley will add traffic to already congested main thoroughfares Tilly Mill Road and North Peachtree Road. Conversely, there are established Safe Routes to School that allow these students to walk or bike to and from Chesnut safely. If Perimeter Gardens were to be rezoned to Chesnut, they could utilize the existing DCSD bus route that serves Chesnut students at Columns at Lake Ridge.
  
  5. Intact Neighborhoods - After using the appropriate channels in the correct forum — Sept. 26th’s Round 1 Austin Elementary Redistricting Meeting — our voice was not heard. We ask again that the DNCA be kept intact. DNCA’s area encompasses community members on the west and east side of Tilly Milly Road, including: Dunwoody North, Andover Estates, Laurelwood Farms, Dunwoody Trails, Brafferton Square, Briers North, The Madisons, and Chestnut Landing.

D. Prioritize A Chesnut Rebuild

Lastly, we strongly request DCSD make a rebuild for Chesnut its first priority in addressing Dunwoody’s elementary school overcrowding, and expedite this project’s undertaking. Not only do we have the lowest Facility Condition Assessment (43.17) in the Dunwoody cluster, we have one of the largest properties, which we hope can be utilized to increase our capacity and eliminate the shortage of elementary seats in the cluster. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Chesnut Parent Advisory Council

Dunwoody North: a close-knit community, where residents welcome you with brownies.

Dunwoody Reporter highlights the Dunwoody North Community - a great place to live.

“People did the old-fashioned kind of thing of bringing brownies when we moved in,” Kathy Adams-Carter said about her neighborhood, Dunwoody North.  She and her husband wanted to move from their smaller house on Dresden Drive since 2003, when they married, but they didn’t settle on a home until they found the right one in August 2012, Adams-Carter said. She said they wanted a sense of community and a place that was not isolated.  “We are at heart an intowner, not a suburbanite,” she said.  [Any guess who brought the brownies? Answer]

Tucked away and shaded by trees, Dunwoody North provides cool cover and accessibility to nearby shopping and parks, including Brook Run Park, which Adams-Carter said she and her husband can walk to.  “We looked at Smoke Rise [in eastern DeKalb County] and farther out, and it, along with Avondale Estates, felt too isolated,” she said, noting the intown houses were older and more expensive than the house they found in Dunwoody.  “It’s outside the Perimeter, but it’s almost intown,” she said. “I actually grew up about a mile on the other side, and I remember riding the school bus into Dunwoody when it was gravel roads and it really seemed far out.”  When not entertaining their granddaughter, Adams-Carter said she enjoys watching the younger kids skateboarding and riding bikes in the neighborhood.  “We’re still in a diverse neighborhood age-wise,” she said.  

Gerri Penn, president of the Dunwoody North Civic Association, said the 1,000-home community is a mature neighborhood with an active civic association, swim and tennis teams, proximity to two schools and Brook Run Park, and a neighborhood watch. “We have a good mix of seniors, middle age and young,” she said.

During the summer, swim team photographer and dad Rob Maxwell says the kids out of school “live at the pool.” He describes the swim meets as “controlled chaos.” His background in art and design allows him to take the pictures the parents can’t get with their iPhones, he said.  When his youngest daughter, Avery, was 5 years old, she climbed the high dive and teetered on the edge of the board, launching into the water before dad could say “No!” Maxwell said. “She’s just a little daredevil. I think she likes the feeling of flying off the board.” The pool is “what summer is to them,” Maxwell said about his three children, ages 11, 13 and 15, and the 100 children in the swim team organization. “It’s very wholesome and Mayberry-esque,” he said.

Lisa Dierks-Unkefer said some of her fondest memories involved playing with her friends at the pool, which she said was built in 1966-67. In 1999, she said she bought the home her parents purchased in 1965, the home where she grew up.  “We were drawn back to this wonderful neighborhood not just because of the location, but because a few of my best friends had also come back,” she said, calling the moving back, “a testament that people who live here love it, and truly care about each other.”

John Heneghan, a member of Dunwoody City Council, said he started a blog as an alternative to a printed newsletter when he was the president of the neighborhood’s homeowner’s association in the early 2000s.  When citizens started seriously considering starting the city of Dunwoody, Heneghan said he worked to keep the Dunwoody North neighborhood united. “Some wanted to set the limit at Tilly Mill Road, which would have meant half the residents would be outside the city limits,” he said. “So, I got involved to help convince the powers that be to move the city to the county line.”

Sam Verniero also involves himself with neighborhood affairs, and though he has only been a resident for five years, he said he has been elected first vice president to the Dunwoody North Civic Association for the past four years, and appointed as a board member to the Dunwoody Community Council, the DeKalb Community Service Board and the Brighter DeKalb Foundation Board.

He said he moved to Dunwoody North for the love of people, neighbors, accessibility, community, civic responsibility, partnership, education, leadership and safety tied to affordability. “The American Dream can be found in the Dunwoody North neighborhood,” Verniero said.

1965 new home brochure from Dunwoody North subdivision showing various models and a list of orginal members of the swim tennis club.

DUNWOODY NORTH represents "The Ultimate in Luxury Living." There is none finer! Here you have an unsurpassed combination of features comprised of fine homes superlatively designed and meticulously constructed, select land with an abundance of gracious trees, and accessibility to downtown and all conveniences. Dunwoody North truly defies description and must be visited to be fully appreciated ... it's just that extraordinary! No effort or expense has been spared to establish Dunwoody North as a place to reside, absolutely without equal.

Another interesting discovery was the original list of members of the Dunwoody North Driving Club which is the neighborhood swim tennis association.  These original members, borrowed money / put their houses up for collateral to fund the construction of the facility as well as put in an extraordinary amount of their own labor to build the club.  I was told that Peachtree Industrial was just under construction during this time and the members hauled excess dirt from that project in their pickup trucks to fill what is now the four tennis courts.

https://www.facebook.com/DunwoodyNorthDrivingClub

Below is a historical account from one of the original members.

The Dunwoody North Subdivision was developed in 1963 / 1964 by Tom Cousins -- an area still considered "far out" to most of Atlanta's residents at that time. However, Mr. Cousins' first venture in residential development proved to be a huge success. The first homes were built on North Peachtree, East Kings Point Circle, Kingsfield Ct, Brookhurst, Huntington Circle, and Vintage Lane. At the initial development stage, East Kings Point Circle and Brookhurst ended at their intersection, and the southern segment of Huntington Circle extended to Stonington Road, which ended at that point. Original home owners (Davis, Ruffin, Griffith, Coley, Dimling, Curran, Welton, and Dierks to name a few) may still live in Dunwoody North, a tribute to the wonderful neighborhood we all share.

In 1964 shopping, restaurants and entertainment were not plentiful, or easily accessible, like Perimeter Mall is now. Chamblee Plaza was the only place to shop, and Sandy Springs and Brookhaven had the nearest restaurants. 1-285 only went from Roswell Road to Chamblee-Tucker, and Stonington Road had not been extended to Tilly Mill!

The beautiful area where our Driving Club is located was rough land with gullies, donated by Tom Cousins to the residents of Dunwoody North Subdivision with the stipulation that the Swim & Tennis Club to be built there would be used exclusively for the residents of Dunwoody North Subdivision. That way he could advertise his homes as having club facilities, while his competitor developers in Dunwoody Trails, Andover Estates, and Laurelwood Farms could not. That restriction was binding until all lots were sold and the residents of Dunwoody North paid off the note on land improvements, pool and tennis facilities. The second phase of Dunwoody North across Tilly Mill was developed as a result of the huge success of the first houses built on the North Peachtree side.

The story goes that Barbara Keel, a real estate agent and resident, was taking some paperwork to DeKalb County Courthouse to be filed for the club facility, The clerk asked her for the name of this new club facility, and being familiar with the Piedmont Driving Club and the prestige associated therewith, Ms. Keel gave the name Dunwoody North Driving Club. The name has remained and the club is still known as the "Driving Club."

The note for the original club facility was paid off in the mid-80's and membership to the Driving Club opened up to the adjacent subdivisions. This came at a time when members were aging and their children were leaving home and not using the pool facilities. The Club lost members and struggled to maintain itself. Then membership was opened up to anyone who wanted to join, providing they were sponsored by a member in good standing. In 1990, a new clubhouse, designed by our neighbor, Steve Lyman, was added to the Driving Club to attract more members and make the Club membership more attractive to residents who wanted more than just swimming and tennis.

The original residents worked harder than we can imagine to develop this area into the beautiful neighborhood we now take for granted. It took a lot of foresight, determination, and pure physical labor to get things going. For instance, the pool and driveway area at the club were located in a ravine. Arrangements were made with DOT for the dirt being removed from the Chamblee-Tucker/1-85 interchange to be brought in to fill the area. Well, guess who had to get it smoothed out and packed down!

The first pool was treated with chemicals in buckets. It wasn't until the early 70's that a chlorine system was installed and enough money was available to upgrade the bath house facility. Around 1970 the first two tennis courts were built, with lights added later. Peachtree High School was completed in 1969, two years ahead of schedule, due to the diligent work of neighborhood parents who completed a survey of the area showing the number and ages of every child in the area. They took this information to the County proving enough enrollment potential for the school to be completed. Before Peachtree High opened, students attended Sequoia in Chamblee and elementary children went to Hightower on Tilly Mill. Chesnut Elementary was opened in the early 70's.

Over the years Dunwoody North had an active Civic Association overseeing area development and keeping a watchful eye on zoning to maintain the residential character of our community. Everything was quiet and under control in the late 1980's when the Civic Association went dormant for about five years. In 1993 nude clubs, traffic, and air plane noise were the dominant topics that brought the Civic Association to life again. One of the first items on the agenda was to add the adjacent subdivisions of Dunwoody Trails, Laurelwood Farms, Andover Estates, Briars North and Brafferton to the Dunwoody North Community.

Today our neighborhood is thriving and real estate prices are soaring because of our "close in" location. New houses are being built along Tilly Mill and young families are revitalizing the area schools. Just recently the parents of Chesnut Elementary elected to convert to a Charter School where the Parents are setting the standards and helping the administration run the school. The Dunwoody North Driving Club has just completed a major overhaul of the facilities by resurfacing the pool, renovating the pool house and reconstructing the four tennis courts. The Club also has the highest membership total in the thirty five years of existence.

What once started out as a "far out" suburb has now become the premier location in all of Atlanta to live. We have easy access to transportation, shopping and dining, yet are just minutes from the high tech commercial and medical districts of the Atlanta metro area. We have mature tree lined streets with good schools, low crime, well built housing and nearby recreational facilities. Dunwoody North has it all going for it, and the Civic Association is working hard to make sure that it doesn’t change.

Note: Information for this article was provided by Frank Welton, one of the Founding Residents and his information was originally published in a 1994 Civic Association article.

Dunwoody 2014 Swim Team Schedule - A Tuesday Night Tradition

I lifted the photo above from Rick's Dunwoody Talk Blog - so please repay the favor by checking out his analysis of the upcoming season.

Rick is correct, as per the rules of the Atlanta Swim Association the depth of Dunwoody North's pool is now just below the minimum depth for starting blocks because of a past resurfacing. The team had the option to force all swimmers to start in the water but decided to travel all season so as to not throw off the swimmers who enjoy the starting blocks.

The pool at the Dunwoody North may be corrected this Fall but until then we travel.

Reminder: meeting tonight to hear first hand from the Dunwoody City Manager and Police Chief

I know for a fact this event is going to get some big play from the local community. The reason I know is that my wife's monthly neighborhood Bunko gathering got moved to a different date because so many of the members were going to be in attendance to meet the Dunwoody City Manager & Police Chief.

Trust me, if you know this crowd of "Dunwoody Ya Ya's" the streets of Dunwoody will be safer because of this meeting.
