The public will have four chances in January to weigh in on a plan that will guide decisions about Atlanta school buildings. 

Atlanta Public Schools scheduled community input meetings in January to provide updates about the facilities master planning process and gather input. The school board this summer agreed to spend $900,000 to develop a plan that will help them make decisions about consolidating and building schools. It will also include a demographic study to help forecast enrollment trends and figure out where the school-age population is increasing or declining. 

The school board is tentatively scheduled to adopt the final plan in June.

The upcoming meetings all begin at 6 p.m.

They will be held Jan. 8, at B.E.S.T. Academy/ Coretta Scott King Young Women's Leadership Academy at 1190 Northwest Dr. NW; Jan. 15 at Inman Middle School, 774 Virginia Ave. NE; Jan. 16 at Therrell High School, 3099 Panther Trail, SW; and Jan. 22 at Washington High School, 45 Whitehouse Dr. NW.
