DeKalb schools take public comment on policy changes

The new DeKalb County school board is proposing several policy changes and is giving the public until April 19 to post comments about them on the system’s website.

The policies govern the advisory role of school councils in hiring principals, the protocol for school board meetings, guidelines for public comment at meetings, process for policy adoption and ethics and staff conflicts of interest.
