Latin Academy moving to new building

By Mark Niesse

Latin Academy Charter School will move about six miles, from west Atlanta to south Atlanta, because its current location needs significant repairs.

The Atlanta Board of Education voted 6-2 on Monday to transfer Latin Academy’s lease from the former Anderson Park Elementary School to the former Capitol View Elementary School.

The move was opposed by board members Courtney English and Byron Amos, who said Latin Academy was aware of the building’s condition when it moved in at the beginning of the 2012-2013 school year.
