I meant to share this too, Lauren Sullivan Shankman, as soon as I saw it today. Via AJC Get Schooled: This: At the same time DCSD actively denies our efforts to create and implement a true, locally controlled charter cluster, it moves for system-wide charter status. Such a system-wide charter status under the control of DCSD is, we fear, a pretense useful only for DCSD to obtain more waivers and divert more funds to the central office. Nothing from our now substantial experience with DCSD evidences a true desire to allow meaningful autonomy or local control at the cluster or school level. And this: Beyond our conviction that the DeKalb County School District is irreversibly opposed to the DHCC, we step away from our efforts in order to give life to other active processes underway in our communities that affect our constituency, such as annexation and city-hood. Our cluster neighborhoods are involved in many of these alternative efforts to stimulate reform in our county school system, and the DHCC effort has always been about empowering local constituencies to act. We owe our parents the opportunity to get fully involved in those of their choosing that have a far greater likelihood of success than the DHCC has within the DeKalb County School District. The writings on the wall, DeKalb. People are fed up. If you are too, please share this letter. I am not even in the Druid Hills feeder district; Im in Lakeside. I agree completely with them. getschooled.blog.ajc/2014/10/15/druid-hills-cluster-we-give-up-dekalb-fought-dirty-and-with-no-concern-for-students-community-will/?ecmp=ajc_social_facebook_2014_getschooled_sfp
