Atlanta Public Schools Superintendent Meria Carstarphen will give the 2018 State of the District presentation next month at the newly built Walden Sports Complex.

The district paid for the $8 million athletic complex, at the site of the former Walden Middle School in the Old Fourth Ward, using money from a one-cent sales tax.

The complex — which features a field house and athletic fields — is scheduled to open with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. Oct. 5 before the State of the District speech begins at 11 a.m.
