Good morning, Decatur.

Target will soon open its largest store in metro Atlanta in over a decade—expected to offer more shopping options and create new job opportunities for local residents.

After months of debate, DeKalb County will let all elementary students have a 30-minute recess each day by January—replacing the 15-minute break that was cut to extend literacy instruction.

Parents supported the change with a petition that gathered over 2,800 signatures.

DeKalb County parents weighed in on the century-old Druid Hills High School as the board considers three options—modernizing the school on Haygood Drive for $100 million or building a new facility at either the DeKalb School of the Arts or Druid Hills Middle School at an added $80 million. Public meetings have begun and more feedback is expected in two weeks as community members hope local partners like Emory Hospital will help preserve the historic school.

City leaders discussed possible upgrades to Oakhurst Park in Decatur — they will review improvement steps in upcoming meetings.

The Decatur City Commission approved a plan on Oct.
