As many of you know, Midvale Elementary was placed on a list of possible school closures last Friday. Dekalb County Board of Education is going to close 4 schools at the end of this school year and the announcement is going to come as soon as this Friday.
Midvale is an excellent school in an amazing community. We are surprised to be on this list because Midvale has so much going for it. We are an International Baccalaureate School in the primary years which is part of a continuum running through Tucker Middle School and Tucker High School. The county has also just started a big renovation project including roof, HVAC replacement, and renovations of the downstairs level.
If you want to help, write a letter to the Board of Education contacts that are at the bottom of this e-mail. We want Midvale to be taken OFF this list.
Here is the contact information for our Board Members:
