DeKalb Charter Cluster Proposal May Get Second Chance
A petition for a Druid Hills charter schools cluster may get a second chance for approval in DeKalb County.
The charter cluster petition would have given Druid Hills High School and its feeder schools more autonomy, loosening the grip of the school district. But the DeKalb school board narrowly rejected the proposal just over a year ago.
Recently, some petitioners considered annexing to Atlanta, which would make the schools a part of APS.
DeKalb Superintendent Michael Thurmond met with some of the charter cluster organizers recently to clarify the district’s petition process.
Thurmond said he encouraged the group to resubmit their petition to the school board.
A note of disclosure: WABE’s broadcast license is held by the Atlanta Board of Education.
