Public schools in metro Atlanta are in their last few weeks of classes before summer break.
Nearly all districts in the region end the school year in the week before Memorial Day, the unofficial start of summer. The DeKalb County School District ended classes today. That’s about a week ahead of the others, giving students and teachers a head start on summer jobs, projects or relaxation.
The summer is increasingly becoming a time for school as well. Most districts have expanded their enrichment and review programs in response to pandemic disruptions over the last two years and encouraged more students to participate.
