Proposed school closures and attendance line changes

From the Atlanta Journal Constitution

The DeKalb County school board will meet Thursday at 2 p.m., first to go behind closed doors for a personnel and legal matter, then at 3:30 p.m. for a public discussion on proposed school closures and attendance line changes.

Superintendent Cheryl Atkinson recently recommended the closure of a dozen schools that were slated for renovations while using the savings to accelerate work on other projects. She also recommended issuing $80 million in bonds against future sales tax revenue to fund work earlier.

The board is scheduled for a final vote at 6 p.m. on Dec. 10. Both meetings are at 1701 Mountain Industrial Blvd., Stone Mountain.
