The Atlanta school board is getting lessons on how to work with superintendents.

The training, to be held in an auditorium at the High Museum of Art on Monday and Tuesday, is called “Powerful Board and Superintendent Relationships” and will be led by Zenda Bowie, director of field services for the Georgia School Boards Association.

The city school board this month hired Meria Carstarphen to become Atlanta’s superintendent, and she’ll start her job July 7.
