April 11 Update from A°¼Í¹ÊÓÆµ Board President

On April 11, Vincent Torres, president of the A°¼Í¹ÊÓÆµ Board of Trustees, provided the following update to A°¼Í¹ÊÓÆµ employees, families and the community:

Dear A°¼Í¹ÊÓÆµ community,

The Austin °¼Í¹ÊÓÆµ Board of Trustees met this past Monday in open session and Tuesday in executive session to continue to discuss and develop a contingency plan should Dr. Meria Carstarphen be officially chosen to lead Atlanta Public Schools on April 14.

As part of our contingency plan, we have called for a special board meeting Tuesday evening, April 15, where we may consider two possible actions: naming an interim superintendent and approving a request for proposals from search firms. The public will be able to speak directly to trustees during Citizens Communication before the board takes any action at this meeting.

The board appreciates those who have taken the time to share feedback with us through the district’s new .

Thank you,

Vincent Torres
President
Austin °¼Í¹ÊÓÆµ Board of Trustees
