City Schools of Decatur board held a multi‑part meeting (prework, work session, regular meeting) that focused on K–2 school utilization and community engagement, review of purchasing policy DJE, a draft 2027–28 academic calendar, updates on the Early Childhood Learning Center (ECLC), and FY27 budget parameters; the board agreed to “slow down” the consolidation timeline and launch community committees to study K–2 utilization.
