DeKalb School boss to decide on school auditors

DeKalb's new Superintendent Cheryl L.H. Atkinson is expected to hire an outside consultant firm on Friday to review every job and salary in the system to help eliminate wasteful spending of tax dollars and direct more money to the classrooms. Atkinson announced the deadline at a special meeting on Monday morning. School spokesman Walter Woods said that there currently isn't a list of consulting finalists and no potential contract fees have been made public. Woods said Atkinson wants to move fast because the students don't have time to wait.
