Street-level board zone maps released

HOPE -- The Hope Public Schools today released for public comment street maps of proposed school board zones which the HPS Board of Education will consider as it begins the process of redrawing board member zones subject to the 2020 U.S. Census.\r\n

\r\n

The proposed maps were produced by Monticello, Ar., based consulting firm EFS GeoTechnologies for the board to begin considerations at its Nov. 15 meeting.\r\n

Currently, four members of the board will be subject to re-election in May, 2022, including Zone 3 Representative Margaret Moss, whose seat is open pending the election to complete her term in May, 2023, Zone 4 Representative Jimmy Courtney, Zone 6 Representative Kathryn Dickinson and Zone 7 Representative Alvis Hamilton.\r\n

\r\n

Dickinson and Moss’ terms were skewed because they were originally seated on the board by appointment.\r\n

\r\n

Zone 1 is represented by Viney Johnson, Zone 2 by David “Bubba” Powers, and Zone 5 by Linda Haynes.
