New Forest Park middle school won't be open in time for the school year
Clayton County Public Schools announced that the opening of the new Forest Park Middle School in August would be delayed as a result of 'unforeseen global supply chain disruptions.' Due to 'delays in the delivery of essential construction materials and equipment,' the Clayton County school district said it would not be able to finish construction on time for the start of the 2025-2026 school year. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] 'The district hopes to relocate these students to their new home on Finley Drive in Forest Park during the week of Fall Break, October 13-17, 2025,' officials said in a statement. Instead, students who are enrolled at FPMS will stay at their current, temporary school location, which the district said was Morrow High School on Old Rex Morrow Road. For students who were supposed to move to a swing space at the former Morrow High School, they will instead remain in classes at Fountain Elementary School until further notice.

We are working diligently with our contractors and partners to complete Forest Park Middle School during the first semester of the 2025-2026 school year.'
