ELPC News
At the October ELPC meeting, participants gave input regarding what they would like to see in the next superintendent. Michael Thurmond’s contract ends on June 30, 2014. At the ELPC meeting, attendees also heard the following updates:
— The Board of Education vote on the charter system petition was delayed. Hopefully, there will be more opportunities for community feedback.
— The Druid Hills Charter Cluster petition was withdrawn. Many parents in the Druid Hills community are directing their energy towards annexation.
— The Board of Education voted to submit a new Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a superintendent search firm. That process should be complete in November, and the firm can begin searching for our next superintendent.
