⭐ Tip of the Week: Say "Yes" to Something New!

As the new school year approaches, challenge yourself to try one new activity. Whether it's joining a club, playing a sport, auditioning for a performance, or volunteering, stepping outside your comfort zone can lead to new friendships, new skills, and new opportunities. #AtlantaPublicSchools

When it comes to funding public education, the community voice is paramount!

The Atlanta Board of Education has established the TAD Investment Review Committee or TAD-IRC to ensure a transparent and accountable review of TAD investments!

The primary goal of the TAD-IRC is to ensure public input shapes decisions that affect Atlanta's students and neighborhoods.

→ What is a TAD?

Tax Allocation Districts or TADs are one of the tools used to support neighborhood revitalization while also influencing how and when funding becomes available to Atlanta Public Schools.

→ Have questions?
