DeKalb County schools are revising a plan that had put some schools at risk of closing or being repurposed. The possibility of losing their neighborhood school had been a concern for families at Evansdale Elementary. A parent coalition was formed in response to the initial plan, pushing the district to consider feedback from families.

The DeKalb County School District is now relaunching its Student Assignment Project with a new approach that gives parents and community members a larger role in decision-making. Further details on the revised plan and its implications for DeKalb County schools are available from local news sources, including WSB-TV.
