Photos: DeKalb school superintendent's first year
Since Steve Green took the helm of DeKalb County's school system July 1, he has seen the district regain full accreditation and begin a program aimed at lifting several schools out of the state's "failing" category. Green has also dealt with crowding on school buses and in school buildings and courted controversy by opposing school district participation in a tax-incentive plan to develop the site of the former GM plant in Doraville.

Steve Green was superintendent of the smaller Kansas City school district when DeKalb County's school board agreed in May 2015 to hire him. They gave him a three-year contract at a salary of $300,000 with incentive increases possible after the first year. He became the second-highest paid school chief in metro Atlanta, behind Atlanta's Meria Carstarphen, whose salary was $375,000.
