ATHENS - Limestone County school officials have agreed on new voting districts to send for federal approval.
This morning, the Board of Education voted 6-0 to approve the new lines which accommodate a request from Elkmont residents that their area not be split between districts. District 2 board member Bret McGill was not present.
The board must send the map to the Department of Justice for approval. The department will look at overall population figures and any changes in minority voting populations.
