School board to hold all-day discussion

The DeKalb County school board will meet Saturday to discuss accreditation, finances, governance, legal fees, accountability and other topics during what is advertised as a retreat.

The all-day discussion, from 9 a.m. to noon, then 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., will also cover creation of a citizen advisory committee “to assist with oversight of various departments within the district,” according to a revised agenda released late Friday morning.

The meeting is at the school district administrative complex, 1701 Mountain Industrial Blvd., Stone Mountain.
