DeKalb County School Board elections. Dist. 1, Dist 7: A district in deep disarray

Atlanta Journal Constitution

With its accreditation under review, its former superintendent under indictment and many of its schools underperforming, DeKalb County is at a crossroads. The school board will face many challenges next year, including hiring a new superintendent to lead the system back to stability. School board candidates in the Nov. 2 general election tell us how they would deal with these challenges.

1. What qualities should the next superintendent of schools have?

2. How would you involve the communities in the school redistricting and closings process?

3. With the indictments of two top school officials and the current questions from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools about leadership of the district, what will you do to help restore credibility and confidence?
