ATLANTA — Atlanta Public Schools is planning to close or repurpose over a dozen schools due to declining enrollment and high maintenance costs.
The proposal, which targets 16 schools, aims to save the district $20-25 million annually by reducing student capacity by 5,200 seats.
Parents, children, and their supporters packed the Atlanta School Board meeting to express their opposition to the proposed closures.
The schools that could be on the chopping block, LIVE on WSB Tonight at 11 p.m.
