School system explores organizational “flexibility”

The DeKalb County School District is holding meetings around the county to explain its “flexibility” options and gather public opinion.

Like other Georgia districts, DeKalb must decide whether to adopt a new organizational structure that pushes more authority to schools, or face loss of waivers from state mandates such as maximum class sizes.

All meetings start at 6:30 p.m. The dates and locations are: Jan. 16, Towers High School, 3919 Brookcrest Circle, Decatur; Jan. 22, Lithonia High, 2440 Phillips Road, Lithonia; Jan. 23, Lakeside High, 3801 Briarcliff Road NE, Atlanta; Jan. 28, Stephenson High, 701 Stephenson Road, Stone Mountain, and Jan. 29, Dunwoody High, 5035 Vermack Road, Dunwoody.
