Though Decatur’s school board has for now postponed an agreement with the city on annexation, the city commission will still vote on the annexation master plan, 7:30 p.m. Monday at the City Commission Meeting Room, 509 N. McDonough Street.

“I would think [the plan] would be considered with some contingent language referencing the City Schools adopting a resolution of support,” City Manager Peggy Merriss wrote in an email. “The City Commission wants to be supportive of [the board], so I am sure that they would take [its] concerns to heart in making a decision.”
