Atlanta school board sworn in and names English chairman

Atlanta’s newly elected school board took office Monday and unanimously voted for Courtney English to become the board chairman.

Voters chose six new representatives last fall, bringing major turnover to the nine-member board.

The school board, which also named Nancy Meister as vice chairwoman, includes four former teachers, three graduates of Atlanta Public Schools, nonprofit organizers, attorneys, and parent community leaders.
