School districts are reporting zero glitches as the first day of school for many in the Atlanta metropolitan area gets under way.
The big news in DeKalb County was the opening of Peachcrest Elementary, a state-of-the-art space designed with technology and security enhancements. The school is built around an amphitheater, is 100-percent wireless, with two large computer labs, readily available laptops and classrooms specially designed for different types of instruction, including for special-needs students.
New Superintendent Steve Green was at the school Monday morning welcoming students, teachers and parents back for the new year. Student enrollment for the district is expected to rise to nearly 103,000 when the tally is officially taken in the fall.
