Approximately 200 people gathered at M.A. Jones Elementary last week for the SNAPPS*-hosted Coffee and Conversation with Superintendent Erroll Davis. Board members present were Chair Brenda Muhammad, who delivered brief remarks, and Cecily Harsch-Kinnane. In the audience alongside parents and community members was a lively contingent of APS teachers, model teacher leaders and principals, who expressed their readiness for the new school year. The superintendent fielded questions mostly about the fair and cost-effective treatment of employees on administrative leave and the importance of ongoing community and parental involvement. Three candidates for the permanent seat of Education District 2 representative also attended the forum. Each day this week we will post one question and answer from this informative town hall. *Southwest and Northwest Atlanta Parents and Partners for Schools Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Print (Opens in new window) Print More Share on X (Opens in new window) X Like this:Like Loading… Discover more from APS Today Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.
