Inman Middle to Receive Portable Classrooms
Final proposal will be presented to the board of education on Tuesday
A grade six academy at Cook Elementary School is off the table — for now.
In his final proposal, Superintendent Erroll B. Davis said portable classrooms will be installed at for the 2012-2013 school year to address capacity issues.
He said this will give “time to plan for any needed transitions,” which parents from the Inman cluster have actively advocated for.

But the sixth grade academy for Inman Middle that was proposed to be built at Cook Elementary on Memorial Drive is still on the table for the future.
“Inman has the former Cook facility available to use as a sixth grade academy while the enrollment numbers are assessed and a long-term solution is developed and implemented,” Davis wrote in his final proposal.
