What is the latest on the Chisholm renovation? Is it still planned for Springarn, starting fall 2026?

Believe the impacted school years are 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 with the new building scheduled to open summer 2028. If a swing space is more than a mile away from the school, busses must be provided. That said if it stays at Springarn (across Benning by the Langston Golf Course), it’s just about two miles away and still Hill-adjacent, so I imagine some families will opt to drive.
