The Atlanta school board has formed a community engagement committee to help gather ideas and offer feedback about how it communicates and engages the public. The move aims to help the board meet a mandate from the system's accrediting agency.

The new, 17-member committee includes Peter Aman, the city of Atlanta's chief operating officer, Oglethorpe University President Lawrence Schall, a University of Georgia vice chancellor, two high school students, six parents, three Atlanta Public Schools employees, two business people and a representative for the state.
