5. Decision Making Timeline 5 Community Meeting Legislature votes on Druid Hills annexation Determine path forward with Druid Hills Druid Hills residents vote on annexation April 3, 2015 February 19, 2015 Nov. 2015 Dec. 2015 Choose between Scenarios Yes No

6. Current Situation February community meeting and subsequent emails delivered some consistent themes: - Solutions should address long-term capacity challenges for the Grady Cluster, not just Inman - Expansion on the Inman site is less desirable than other options - Use of other APS buildings and land in the Grady Cluster (e.g. former Howard High School) should be priority - Elementary capacity should be examined Given feedback, APS administrators went back and re- examined options for solutions. Druid Hills annexation proposal did not pass the legislature. The Board took action in April 2015 to set new attendance boundaries for Centennial Place Academy for middle school beginning in 2017-2018 school year. 6

7. Assumptions and Rationale for Informing Direction Moving Forward We have available capacity at cluster elementary schools. (Slides 8 and 9) Our focus will be on middle and high school capacity concerns. (Slide 10) The Grady Cluster has a need for athletic fields. (Slide 15) We will leverage existing APS facilities and real estate in the cluster. Limited and expensive real estate within the Grady Cluster would prohibit acquiring new land and planning construction projects. 7

9. Maximize Existing Capacity at Hope-Hill Elementary 9 To the extent that elementary capacity becomes a concern within the Grady Cluster, we will use Hope-Hill. Timeline: TBD Cost: None Pros: More efficient use of space at Hope-Hill; relieve space concerns at other Grady Cluster elementary schools Cons: Would require rezoning within the cluster
