This year will be all about planning for the Atlanta Board of Education.

The school board is finalizing its goals for the 2018-2019 year, even though school began Aug. 1.

The proposed goals, which the board approved tentatively earlier this  month but  must still approve via a final vote, are:

  • To develop a user-friendly community engagement/communication plan, which allows for feedback, accountability and transparency.
  • To create an inventory of the district's teacher quality/professional development initiatives.
  • To develop a comprehensive strategy to increase the number of quality schools in the district.
  • To develop a comprehensive strategy for improving operations with a focus on facilities.
