The DeKalb County school board Monday approved the hiring of 75 Teach for America teachers, through the district's Race to the Top grant. Teacher for America is a program that places top college graduates in hard-to-staff public schools. Race to the Top is a federal grant designed to reform education policy. The teachers will begin work this fall.
