Conyers drops proposed short-term rental ordinances

CONYERS — After months of discussion and opposition from residents concerned about the impact of Airbnb-style rentals on their neighborhoods, the Conyers City Council decided not to move forward with two proposed ordinances to regulate short-term rental properties. During its Nov. 4 work session, the council agreed to abandon Ordinances 1488 and 1490, which would have established where short-term rentals could operate and created a permitting and enforcement system for properties rented to guests for 30 days or less. The decision followed another round of public comments from residents who argued that allowing short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods could threaten their quality of life, introduce commercial activity into established communities and create additional enforcement challenges for the city. According to the city’s official meeting summary, the council will not place either ordinance on a future agenda for adoption. The decision leaves the city’s existing regulations in place rather than establishing a new permitting system. However, questions remain about how the city will address short-term rentals operating without authorization and whether it will consider additional enforcement measures. Four residents — Nadine Bailey, Judy Mauran, Jackson Welch and Carol Mills — addressed the council during the work session, urging members to reject

RCPS proposes school consolidation and rezoning plan

CONYERS — Rockdale County Public Schools has announced a proposal to consolidate and rezone select elementary and middle schools beginning with the 2027-28 school year. The proposal is the first phase of Future Ready RCPS, a three-part plan to create capacity, define opportunity, and build the future for students. According to the school system, the proposal responds to a sharp and persistent decline in school-aged children in the district, driven largely by decreasing birth rates and an aging population in the county. Across the district, RCPS has more than 5,000 open seats with elementary schools using about 62% of their seats and middle schools using about 71 percent of their seats. Enrollment fell from 16,718 students at the 2017-18 midpoint to 14,693 at the 2025-26 midpoint, a decrease of 2,025 students. Because about half of the RCPS budget comes from state funding tied to enrollment, declining enrollment means declining funding. Instead of stretching resources thin across current schools, by combining some schools, RCPS will be able to offer more to students, according to the school system. The school system also stated in a press release that consolidating buildings would allow schools to earn maximum state funding, strengthen programs, and potentially
