Tallapoosa County Board of Education member Matilda Woodyard-Hamilton and president Carla Talton discuss the agenda at the annual board meeting in Dadeville Nov. 16.

The Tallapoosa County Board of Education began the process of redrawing its voting districts this month with two seats representing districts 3 and 4 up for election in November.

Mark Allen Treadwell, attorney for the Tallapoosa County school board, presented three redistricting plans Tuesday based on the school district's 2020 U.S. Census population of 22,637. The new map must have voting district populations within a five-percent deviation of 4,527 while complying with the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibits the dilution of a minority's voting power.
