Parking
‐	For the 2019‐2020 school year, the parking spaces may be numbered so they can be assigned to staff to ensure they have spots. This will decrease parking spaces for students.
‐	We are continuing to dealing with illegal parking on campus.
‐	 The new modulars are going to cause a net loss of 5 spots. The modular will overlap 9 spaces, but 4 vertical spaces will be added.
‐	The parking spaces at the front of building will remain visitor spaces.

Bus pickup for special needs students
‐	 The special needs bus will need to try the suggested new route for parking to make the bus door facing the school doors, instead of the parking lot (as it does currently).

New Modular Units
‐	Modulars (2) should be delivered first week of June.

‐	There will be 5 pieces to each quad, and from delivery until they are assembled, they will take up ½ of parking lot in summer.
‐	It’s possible that DHS could get another modular but for the 2020 – 2021 year.

End of year issues and concerns
‐	 The Doraville mayor sent an email to the principals of impacted schools about an application to rezone an existing shopping center into multi‐family residential dwellings near Hightower.

o The public hearing before the Doraville City Council is scheduled for June 17, 2019 at 6:30pm at the Doraville City Hall located at 3725 Park Avenue.
