Members of the Fulton County School Board have scheduled September meetings with residents and others in their respective communities.

These sessions provide an opportunity for direct contact with community members and give board members a chance to listen to local issues and concerns.

Board members have set the following meeting dates for September 2015:

District 1 (District leaders will conduct the meeting due to Linda Schultz’s retirement)

• September 16, 9:30 a.m.
• Esther Jackson Elementary School, 1400 Martin Road, Roswell

Katie Reeves, District 2

• September 15, 9:30 a.m.
• Alpharetta Elementary School, 192 Mayfield Road, Alpharetta

Gail Dean, District 3

• September 10, 9:30 a.m.
• Heards Ferry Elementary School, 6151 Powers Ferry Road, Sandy Springs

Linda Bryant, District 4

• September 14, 6 p.m.
• Sandtown Middle School, 5400 Campbellton Road SW, Atlanta

Linda McCain, District 5

• September 15, 9:30 a.m.
• Ocee Elementary School, 4375 Kimball Bridge Road, Johns Creek

Catherine Maddox, District 6

• September 11, 9:30 a.m.

Julia Bernath, District 7

• Sandy Springs Middle School, 8750 Pride Place, Sandy Springs

After Linda Bryant’s District 4 meeting on Sept. 14, a discussion on educational specifications will be held.

Known commonly in the industry as “ed specs,” the discussion will focus on how the district can establish building design characteristics that support educational programs and provide equitable facilities standards for school construction.

Fulton County School Board members have hosted these community meetings for a number of years, and are believed to be one of the few school boards in the country to use such a process for gathering input.
