Landmark School may leave Fairburn

Landmark Christian

School could be on the move from its Fairburn campus, but not anytime

soon.

Next Thursday,

officials from the school will travel to Tyrone to seek rezoning for a

95-acre tract on Farr Road.

Tyrone Town

Manager Barry Amos said school officials want the property zoned from

residential to office-institutional to build a new school.

Amos said the

site plan shows classroom buildings, along with a football stadium, soccer

field and practice fields.

Landmark director

of development Fran Belloir said the school would eventually move all

its facilities to the Tyrone site, but only after going through a 10-

to 15-year phase-in plan.

"We really

want to expand the elementary school, so that's the first thing we would

do," she said.

Currently,

the school has two classes per grade and officials want to move toward

four classes per grade, but there's not enough room at the current location.

"It would

take a long time for everything to be located in Tyrone," she said.

The school

currently has 775 students and Belloir said the new facility would allow

it to expand to 1,100.

One of the

last items built at the facility would be the football stadium, since

the school already has a stadium in Fairburn.

Landmark, a

private school serving the entire south metro area, moved from Fayetteville

to the campus formerly occupied by Campbell High School in Fairburn more

than 10 years ago.

Thursday's

Planning Commission meeting is set for 7 p.m. at Tyrone Town Hall.
