The Atlanta Board of Education will hold two public hearings on March 14, 2012, and March 16, 2012, during which officials from Atlanta Public Schools will discuss the proposed closure of William M. Boyd Elementary School. No vote will be taken at these public hearings.

Both hearings will start at 6:30 p.m. at Boyd Elementary, located at 1891 Johnson Road N.W., Atlanta, Georgia 30318.

Students living in the Boyd zone will be reassigned to one of the following schools: Scott Elementary (a K-5 school) or Grove Park-Woodson Elementary (a merged school split between two campuses, one for K-2 and the other for grades 3-5). As a result of the proposed closure and reassignment, Scott Elementary is expected to have an enrollment of approximately 640 students, and Grove Park-Woodson Elementary is expect to have an enrollment of approximately 1,050 students.

Atlanta Public Schools is in the process of determining the future use of the Boyd facility. Boyd may be used as a relocation site, administrative site or nontraditional learning center, or the school may be leased, sold or demolished.
