Discussion: Beyond No Child Left Behind
Parents can hear Georgia school officials talk about "radical solutions" to save failing schools, at a meeting of the Emory Lavista Parent Council Wednesday morning.
Two officials with the Georgia Department of Education will talk about the federal No Child Left Behind Act, from which the state is seeking a waiver. There will also be a presentation on the upcoming school construction sales tax ballot item.
The meeting is at 9:15 a.m. at Fernbank Elementary School, 157 Heaton Park Drive, NE Atlanta. Go early for refreshments. Information: www.emory-lavista.org.
