Atlanta Public Schools will hold a series of public meetings to gather community input on the district's operating model and flexibility options, which affect how the district is overseen and how much freedom it has from state requirements. This fall the district plans to inform the state which model it intends to select. The first community meeting is Tuesday from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at B.E.S.T. Academy High School, 1890 Donald L. Hollowell Parkway NW. For more information, visit www.atlantapublicschools.us/Page/42381.
