CHARTER DISTRICT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SCHEDULE

The DeKalb County School District is seeking to become the largest charter system in the state of Georgia. In order to accomplish this goal, the district must submit a petition to the Georgia Department of Education seeking charter system status, and your input in this petition is sought. The district is seeking your thoughts on autonomy and flexibility at your school and how that autonomy and flexibility can lead to innovations in how students are taught and how the school is governed.
Five community engagement sessions have been scheduled, and anyone seeking the opportunity to provide input is invited to attend, including parents, teachers, and other community members. You are also encouraged to review information from the Georgia Department of Education concerning charter systems and review some of the petitions from other school systems around the state that are already operating as charter district. That information can be found at the following web address: http://www.gadoe.org/External-Affairs-and-Policy/Charter-Schools/Pages/default.aspx.
