- Sites: Parkway Northwest High School, the former Ada Lewis Middle School, the General Louis Wagner Middle School site and the Fitler Academics Plus site.
- Where it stands: reported favorably by the Rules Committee on September 29, 2026, with first reading at the next Council session. The Planning Commission had recommended against, citing the risk of prolonged vacancy.
