The DeKalb County school board will meet Thursday at 2 p.m., first to go behind closed doors for a personnel and legal matter, then at 3:30 p.m. for a public discussion on proposed school closures and attendance line changes.
Superintendent Cheryl Atkinson recently recommended the closure of a dozen schools that were slated for renovations while using the savings to accelerate work on other projects. She also recommended issuing $80 million in bonds against future sales tax revenue to fund work earlier.
The board is scheduled for a final vote at 6 p.m. on Dec. 10. Both meetings are at 1701 Mountain Industrial Blvd., Stone Mountain. The details are online at www.dekalb.k12.ga.us/www/documents/splost-iv/proposed-organization-facilities-presentation-and-binder-(2012-11-12).pdf
