APS Calendar Meeting Monday at Inman

In March, the Atlanta Board of Education is expected to take action on the Atlanta Public Schools calendars for the next two school years for 2013-14 and 2014-2015.

Prior to the board’s consideration, however, the Department of Organizational Advancement has been and will continue to present information about the proposed calendars to the community. A Calendar Final Draft and Calendar FAQs are attached with this article.

This week, the district will conduct two more calendar meetings that will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. in each region as follows:

· East Region: January 28 – Inman Middle School

· North Region: January 29 – Douglass High School

At the beginning of the current school year, APS began gathering data gathered through a survey that has assisted the APS Calendar Committee in designing a calendar that meets the requirements of state law, that supports student attendance and achievement, and that considers the preferences of families. 

The public can now comment on the proposed 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 calendars here.

The board is expected to accept the 2013-14 and 2014-15 calendars for first reading on Feb. 4, and then for a final read in March in order for board members to participate in the community meetings.
