CBS Atlanta 46

Last week, CBSAtlanta ran a piece on City Schools of Decatur’s growing enrollment.  And Patch reports that as of today, 3,584 students are enrolled for the coming school year.  Now breakdown by year has been given yet, but that total number of students is only 46 below the “aggressive” projection provided by the enrollment committee earlier this year.

In the CBSAtlanta video, Dr. Edwards says that she’ll soon be speaking with the city to see what can be done to accommodate enrollment in the coming years.
