Atlanta school leaders will host a series of video discussions about the upcoming school year.
Atlanta Public Schools plans to have its first day of school Aug. 24, according to a proposed calendar change. During at least the first nine weeks of the year, students will learn virtually because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The district has planned a series of online sessions to provide parents with information.
APS will hold town hall meetings at 6 p.m. Wednesday and 6 p.m. Aug. 4.
The district also scheduled three online “fireside chats” to offer details on specific topics. The first one, at 5 p.m. Thursday, will provide information about gifted programs, followed by a 6 p.m. session on dual language immersion. A third session, at 6 p.m. Aug. 6 will be about special education programs.
The events will be streamed on the district’s Facebook page.
