State Superintendent pushes for repairs at Druid Hills High School

April 25th, 2022

Druid Hills High School students and parents are outraged about the school’s current condition.

Recently, State School Superintendent Richard Woods sent a letter to the DeKalb County School Board asking the board to take immediate action to repair the school’s crumbling infrastructure.

Woods’s letter comes as a viral video posted by Druid Hills students showed unsafe plumbing, electrical and security issues.

On Monday’s edition of “Closer Look,” WABE education reporter Martha Dalton talked with program host Rose Scott about the estimated cost for modernization repairs at the school, Superintendent Woods’s letter and what the Georgia Department of Education is now saying in response.
