'On the Scene with Dr. Green' event is set

DeKalb County School District Superintendent Steve Green will lead another community forum for parents, students and community members to get answers to any questions they have.

The latest edition of On the Scene with Dr. Green is scheduled for 7 p.m. April 25 at the DeKalb Early Learning Center, 797 Fayetteville Road in Atlanta. It is the seventh and final "On the Scene" event of this school year.

The Early Learning Center opened last summer, enrolling students as young as 3 as the district sought to effect a person's long-term learning.

The district bills the event as "an opportunity to learn more about your schools and to have your concerns addressed." Green, or members of his executive cabinet, often field questions on a range of issues, from graduation, facilities conditions and schoolhouse engagement.
