Parents at an East Point elementary school are rallying to halt a plan to close the school in the coming months.

Families of Parklane Elementary School gathered this Tuesday at Impact Church in East Point. The community-led meeting was one of the ways to brief other parents about the school’s pending closure.

Anna Lione attended the meeting. Her daughter goes to Parklane.
