Council of Intown Neighborhoods and Schools Weighs In on Inman Crowding
The CINS position statement says a 6th grade annex is 'less disruptive' than an 8th grade annex.
The Council of Intown Neighborhoods and Schools has released a position statement on the issue of how to ease crowding at Inman Middle School.
The statement urges the Atlanta Public Schools to keep Grady High School's current 9-12 grade configuration as it reviews options for the Inman-Grady school cluster.
The statement, which was adopted unanimously by the CINS board on Thursday, also states that the creation of a 6th grade annex would help create "fewer negative educational, social, and extracurricular disruptions to a middle school aged-adolescent than an 8th grade annex."
