The DeKalb County School System paved the way late Monday to begin negotiating with a charter school to move into an empty school facility.

Nicole Knighton, the DeKalb district's director of government relations and special projects, said after a letter of intent is signed, lease negotiations will begin to allow the International Community School to move into the old Medlock Elementary School facility.

The board will vote on the letter of intent next week and will vote to approve the lease in November.

The board will also vote on that lease in November.
