Meetings are set for 6:30 to 8 p.m. Monday, Jan. 14, at Dunwoody Springs Elementary School, 8100 Roberts Drive, and Wednesday, Jan. 16, at Riverwood International Charter School, 5900 Raider Drive NW, both in Sandy Springs.

The Dunwoody Homeowners Association is to take up the issue from 7:30 to 9 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 3, at the North DeKalb Cultural Arts Center, 5339 Chamblee Dunwoody Road, Dunwoody.
