Parents meeting to focus on alternative public school management models
Charter school advocates and government officials will attend a Dunwoody parents meeting at 8:45 a.m. Wednesday to discuss alternative ways of managing and organizing public school districts.
Speakers at the Dunwoody Chamblee Parents’ Council meeting will explain a state mandate that systems such as the DeKalb County School District consider a charter management model. They will also talk about a proposal to amend the Georgia constitution so that new, smaller school districts could be created in cities.
The meeting is at Dunwoody Elementary School, 1923 Womack Rd., Dunwoody. Information: www.dcpc-dekalb.org.
