Task force to review MLK’s old school
The Atlanta Board of Education voted Monday to form a task force to decide what to do about the old building that was once Martin Luther King Jr.’s elementary school.
The group will evaluate options for the future of David T. Howard School, which has been closed since 1976.
Parents have said they’re concerned that the building, located in the city’s Old Fourth Ward neighborhood, could be demolished.
