Savannah school board keeps academy cap at 640

The decision

The Savannah school board kept an academy’s enrollment limit at 640 students. The academy had requested permission to enroll as many as 1,000 students.

The board’s decision leaves the cap 360 students below the academy’s requested level. The academy’s request was not approved.

What remains in place

The academy’s enrollment limit remains 640. Students above that number are not included under the cap currently in effect.

The decision concerns the academy’s enrollment capacity and does not change the request itself: the school sought an increase to 1,000, while the board kept the limit at 640.

Next steps to watch

Any future change to the enrollment limit would require another action by the Savannah school board. The academy’s enrollment request and the board’s 640-student cap remain the central issues in the decision.
