Live Blog: Coan Middle School Meets With APS Officials Over Proposed Closure
Parents and Coan supporters voice their concerns on Davis' proposal for the middle school.
East Atlanta Patch is doing a Live Blog on the Coan Middle School community meeting with Atlanta Public Schools officials to discuss Superintendent Erroll B. Davis Jr.'s proposal that calls for the closure of 13 schools, including Coan Middle, the school that serves Edgewood, East Lake, Kirkwood and East Atlanta.
Davis, who released his plan March 4, recommended the kids zoned for Coan should be rezoned to attend King Middle School in Grant Park. Coan would then be converted to a sixth grade academy to serve the Inman Middle School in Virginia-Highland.
Coan parents and students vehemently oppose that idea.
