Emory LaVista Parent Council Meeting: Get the Facts About the Druid Hills Charter Cluster
Wednesday, August 27, 2014 @ 9am
Sagamore Hills Elementary School
1865 Alderbrook Road, Atlanta, GA 30345
(Program at 9:15 am, refreshments at 8:45am)
Please join the ELPC to hear the facts about the Druid Hills Charter Cluster. The Charter petition will probably be reconsidered by the Dekalb School Board in September. The City of Atlanta is considering annexing the Historic Druid Hills neighborhood, which would have major consequences for Dekalb County Schools. Because this issue impacts ALL Dekalb students it is important for parents to be informed. Please plan to attend the meeting.
