Atlanta Public Schools is finishing the process of moving teachers to different schools to accommodate unexpected changes in student enrollment.

Teachers will begin working in their new classrooms Sept. 16 in traditional schools and Sept. 30 in year-round schools.

About 6,500 students began school after the traditional school year started Aug. 7, and total enrollment was about 455 fewer students than the school district had estimated.
