The proposed changes include consolidating Overton Elementary School into Rush Elementary School, O.L. Slaton Middle School into Dunbar College Preparatory Academy, and Atkins Middle School into other schools.
Additionally, the Board will discuss closing Hodges Elementary School, effective for the 2025-2026 school year.
