DeKalb County recently tore down three vacant elementary schools around the county and plans to return them to greenspace before deciding what to do with the property, according to Crossroads News.
Back in 2012, a local resident wrote in to DM to ask for help regarding “criminal activity” at the vacant school and in January of this year there was a major fire in the building.
