Next: Tell us your thoughts

Dear Readers: Given the critical necessity of rebuilding this district, we'll explore next Sunday what the future should look like for APS.

We want to hear your thoughts on how APS and the community it serves can best move beyond this troubled time and get on with what we should be doing – educating Atlanta’s children for productive lives and futures.

If you've got constructive suggestions or strategies you believe could help get APS back on track, please send them to: tellus@ajc.com

We plan to use some of your best submissions as part of our coverage next Sunday.

Thanks for your input.
