  • Atlanta Public Schools' School Closure, Consolidation and Partnerships Plan in Alignment with the District Transformation Stra
    Atlanta Public Schools’ School Closure, Consolidation and Partnerships Plan in Alignment with the District Transformation Strategy For Board Consideration – March 6, 2017 Executive Summary The Atlanta Public Schools (APS) School Closure, Consolidation and Partnerships Plan in Alignment with the District Transformation Strategy is presented for the consideration of the Board after an extensive communication and public engagement process. The plan was developed to further the district’s Transformation effort, address the under-utilization of schools and launch strategic partnerships over key district priorities. School Closures and Consolidations School closures or consolidations were considered where there were schools with inadequate performance, low enrollment relative to the capacity of the building, facilities in need of significant investment, and the performance of neighboring schools. The following closures and consolidations are recommended: Jackson Cluster – At the start of School Year 2017-2018, close Whitefoord Elementary School, redistricting students to Toomer Elementary and Burgess-Peterson Academy. Redistrict a portion of Parkside Elementary School students to Benteen Elementary School. Mays Cluster – At the start of School Year 2017-2018, close Adamsville Primary, restructuring Miles Intermediate as a PreK-5 school and redistricting some Adamsville and Miles students to West Manor Elementary. Douglass Cluster – At the start of School Year 2017-2018, relocate the Business, Engineering, Science and Technology Academy at the Benjamin S. Carson Educational Complex (BEST) to the Coretta Scott King Young Women’s Leadership Academy (CSK) with two 6-12 single gender academies on the CSK campus. Beginning with School Year 2017-2018, phase out the closure of Harper-Archer Middle School by serving only 7th and 8th grade at Harper-Archer.

THE EFFECTS OF ATLANTA’S URBAN REGIME POLITICS ON THE ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS CHEATING SCANDAL. by JOHNATHAN MUNGO Under the Direction of Lakeyta Bonnette-Bailey Ph.D. ABSTRACT Atlanta’s Urban Regime was involved at every point in the APS cheating scandal and subsequent fall out. The Anglo-American business elites and African American political leaders cared about the image of Atlanta more than the academic well-being of the students. The business community was driving the policies affecting the school system. These policies ultimately benefitted the well-connected members of the regime. At no point did African American voters operationalize their potential political power in the 2013 city elections after the cheating scandal. INDEX WORDS: Atlanta, Atlanta Public Schools, Atlanta Public Schools Cheating Scandal, Urban Regime, Corporate Education Movement THE EFFECTS OF ATLANTA’S URBAN REGIME POLITICS ON THE ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS CHEATING SCANDAL.
