Atlanta Public Schools (APS) is in the process of developing a 2040 Plan. APS, in conjunction with an outside consultant and input from a district-wide community task force, has proposed a variety of school closures and consolidations. The proposed scenarios were made public on August 22, 2025. The APS Board plans to vote on the changes at its December 2025 board meeting. Related information can be found on-line at www.atlantapublicschoolsus/aps2040. 

Tuxedo Park Civic Association boundaries are zoned for Warren T. Jackson Elementary Schools (primary campus and main campus), Sutton Middle School (6th grade campus on Powers Ferry Road), Sutton Middle School (7-8th grade campus on Northside Drive) and North Atlanta High School.

Three proposed scenarios specifically impact Warren T. Jackson Elementary Schools and Sutton Middle Schools, which all require a change in elementary school boundaries, as presented by APS. No details have been provided on how boundary changes would be drawn. The proposed scenarios are:

   1. Repurpose Warren T. Jackson primary campus, along with the Sarah Smith primary campus; 

   2. Repurpose Warren T. Jackson primary AND main campus, along with Sarah Smith primary campus, to then convert Sutton Middle School 6th grade campus into a K-5th grade elementary school; or

  3. Repurpose Warren T. Jackson primary AND main campus, along with Sarah Smith primary campus, to then convert Sutton Middle School 6th grade campus into a K-8th grade elementary school.

The Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods (BCN) has sent a variety of alerts regarding these impacts. TPCA has also sent our membership notices regarding public forums. No clarifications or amendments have been provided by APS or its consultants since the August 22nd release date. BCN, various North Atlanta Cluster civic associations and related PTOs anxiously await more detail and clarity from APS.
