Workers pour the concrete foundation Tuesday for a new and larger band hall at Athens High School. The new band hall, which is scheduled to be completed by the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year, will be built adjacent to the existing one.

The total on both projects is approximately $4.7 million, which is being paid for in cash by the district. (Toni Garrard Clay/AISD)

Press release
Athens ISD administrators have received some questions in regard to the elementary school realignment which will become effective at the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year.

Q: Looking at the map, the area zoned for Bel Air is much smaller than the areas zoned for Central Athens and South Athens. Why is that?
