APS Moves Forward With Controversial Plan to Close and Consolidate Over a Dozen Schools by 2027

#wqeb973newz | Atlanta, GA-Atlanta Public Schools is moving forward with a major shakeup 📚⚠️
The board has voted to close or restructure more than a dozen schools as part of its long-term APS Forward 2040 plan — a decision leaders say is necessary to fix under-enrollment and budget challenges.

But the move comes after months of heated debate, with many parents — especially from predominantly Black neighborhoods — warning the closures will fracture communities and stigmatize students.

Rezoning, transportation plans, and new school assignments are expected to roll out in the coming months. 🚌📍
