Parents in DeKalb County are demanding more answers as discussions continue over possible school closures that could reshape the district for years to come.
According to reports from the The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, some parents say the district has not provided enough information to justify closing schools and redrawing attendance zones. District leaders have promised additional review and a new report next month. Officials say the full redistricting process could take between six and eight years to complete, potentially impacting thousands of families across the county.
Meanwhile, Atlanta leaders are offering small businesses a chance to benefit from one of the world’s largest sporting events. The city has opened applications for vendors interested in operating during all eight 2026 FIFA World Cup matches scheduled to take place in Atlanta. Organizers expect hundreds of thousands of visitors to travel through the city during the tournament, creating major opportunities for local restaurants, retailers and entrepreneurs.
In South Georgia, relief efforts continue as communities recover from devastating wildfires that have burned across the region in recent weeks.

The organization has become known nationally for delivering food during natural disasters and emergency situations.
From education concerns to economic opportunities and disaster recovery, communities across Georgia continue to navigate a busy and challenging spring season.
