Website helps people find their new district in an expanded Unified Shelby County Schools Board
Shelby County, TN March 8, 2010 – MyRepresentatives.com now gives Shelby County residents the ability to view a map of the newly expanded Shelby County Schools Board of Education electoral districts. The new districts were recently created by the Shelby County Commission in preparation for the potential unification of Memphis City Schools and Shelby County Schools.
The new functionality enables you to enter your address and view a map showing which district you belong to, and allows you to see a full map of the district. MyRepresentatives overlays the new electoral districts over a Google Map giving the user the ability to zoom in and out to see the exact borders of the districts.
MyRepresentatives.com is a free service in Shelby County that enables residents to enter their address and pull up a list of their specific elected representatives.
Residents can find the names, contact info and biographical
info for the following positions:
- Shelby County: Mayor,
Assessor, Register, Court Clerks and Sheriff
- Memphis, Bartlett, Germantown
and Collierville: Mayor and City Council
- Tennessee: Governor, House of
Representatives, Senate
- Federal: House of
Representatives, Senate
The site is designed to make it easy for residents to find
out who their representatives are and more easily engage in the political
process. It is a completely non-partisan, after-work public-service project
developed and initiated as a result of the 2010 48 Hour Launch Memphis.
