Our Three New Stakeholder Committees

I am pleased to announce the members of our three new stakeholder advisory and oversight committees: Finance and Budget Advisory Committee, Special Education Advisory Committee, and SPLOST Oversight Committee.

Last month, I announced that we were creating the committees as part of our broader community engagement work in Atlanta Public Schools. We asked individuals who are interested in committee service to submit their nominations to the associate superintendent of their local school and apply online. We received huge interest from parents and community members and took our time to verify all of the nominations and make a final determination in a fair and transparent manner.

The Budget & Finance Stakeholder Advisory Committee consists of 19 members and is chaired by Chuck Burbridge, chief financial officer, Atlanta Public Schools. The Special Education Stakeholder Advisory Committee has 24 members and is led by Tammie Workman, assistant superintendent for Student Services.  The SPLOST Oversight Committee is led by Larry Hoskins, chief operating officer for the district and has 15 members.  Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit a nomination. We want the committees to begin working after winter break, and we’re on track to meet this goal!
