Individuals from the Turner-Agassi Charter School Facilities Fund and Academica Educational Services met with Doraville city council outlining a potential charter school
for the city.
years.
Residents, business owners
and community stakeholders came
together after a task force was
established to remedy problems in
and outside classrooms, OConnor
said.
Councilwoman Pam Fleming
said it is obvious a need exists for
better facilities.
We need to treat our kids like
they are our future, Fleming said.
We are lacking there. It is not the
city of Doravilles error or fault that
the schools are in the disarray they
are in. The north side of DeKalb
County has been neglected for
many years. Redistricting is not the
answer. We need to look into doing
something for our kids and their
future.
Council members M.D. Naser,
Shannon Hillard and Robert
Patrick said they wanted Doraville
children to be served first if a
charter school is established. If
charter status is sought via the
State Charter School Commission,
the school would be mandated to
open to the entire state.
Mayor Donna Pittman said
she does not like the idea of the
potential school being established
at Honeysuckle Park but supports
the overall idea of making a charter
school.
Pierce and Diaz said they
will continue to interact with the
community and seek other places
to establish the charter school and
that the Aug. 1 meeting was very
preliminary.

According to reports, Doraville police found Rivers

Rivers faced four charges, including a felony

Its not fair to punish the

David said. Anything that
happens on this property that has
a residential density will require
rezoning. So by denying the
application you dont change the
power of city council; you still will
have the power to decide what goes

withdrawn.
If you deny this application then
no one can reapply for two years,
David added. And that means that
in two years the developer that

its been two years, the market is
different, maybe theyve changed
their minds, Im going to give it

City attorney Chris Balch said
the city council has the discretion
to shorten that period of time of
reapplying for rezoning after a

DeKalb County School Districts spending was questioned by both the public and the school board at its August meeting.
Big spenders
Public, board members question DeKalb County School Districts spending habits
by R. Scott Belzer
sbelzer@dekalbchamp.com
DeKalb County School Districts
(DCSD) spending practices were
questioned by both the board of
education and the public at its
monthly meeting held August 1.
Concerns were raised by board
member Joyce Morley about
bringing a program called Discovery
Education to 10 of DCSDs
struggling schools. Discovery
provides coaching for teachers in
leadership, teaching and student
learning in addition to regular
assessments, according to Lisa
Martin, DCSDs chief academic
and accountability officer.
The 10 schools chosen for
improvement include Cedar Grove,
Chapel Hill, Fairington Way, Flat
Shoals, Oak View, Barack H.
Obama, Panola Way, Snapfinger
and Stoneview. Teachers will be
coached at each school on how
to enhance the overall education
experience.
DCSD Superintendent Stephen
Green said he had used the
program in the past and that it
would increase teacher ability and
effectiveness in the classroom. He
said Discovery Education fits into a
larger picture in increasing student
achievement.
Morley said she has a problem
with continually bringing in outside
programs not familiar with the
districts overarching issues. She
said it is possible to train staff and
better schools without spending
money each month and suggested
DCSD administration is granting
financial favors.
This is ridiculousthere
has to be a better way, Morley
said. We have to be able to

spend funds on programs and outside vendors on August 1.

money.
To highlight Morleys point,
board member Stan Jester
referenced Julys adoption
of a program dealing with
restorative practices. He asked
that administrators look into
not overlapping when adopting
programs.
Board members Marshall
Orson and Vickie Turner asked for
more clarity regarding programs.
Board member James
McMahon requested programs
be set aside in the monthly
financial report to provide a better
understanding of their place in the
budget.
Morley also voiced concerns
with $8 million being spent by the
facilities management department
for restructuring the districts
maintenance and landscaping
services. One company, SSC
Service Solutions, is based in
Knoxville, Tenn.
We have people who need
jobs and here we are talking about
another vendor, Morley said.
Board members expressed
concern with the amount of vendors
DCSD is engaging with year to
year.
According to Michael Bell,
DCSD hired 3,443 vendors and
spent $227 million for their services
in the 2016 fiscal year. A vendor
is defined as an entity, usually a
business, outside the district that
requires a payment for goods or
purchases.
The spending seems like a
child with a cookie jar, Morley said.
Just because we have the money,
doesnt mean we should keep
grabbing and spending. It concerns

Decaturs
Dyslexia
discussion
by R. Scott Belzer
sbelzer@dekalbchamp.com
Hundreds of City Schools of Decatur (CSD)
parents, teachers and students attended an
informational meeting on dyslexia Aug. 2.
The meeting, called a listening session by
CSDs board of education, allowed those affected
by the learning disability to share their personal
experiences and suggest policy changes to CSD
officials.
Because of the number of people who
attended and shared their stories, the meeting
lasted until around midnight.
Steven Goudy, a CSD parent, pediatric
EMT and dyslexic individual, began the session
by explaining what dyslexia is and how it can be
addressed.
According to Goudy, dyslexia is a hereditary
condition affecting one in five people. Signs
and symptoms include language delay, difficulty
understanding words, reversals of letters and
numbers, omission of words while reading and
confusion about directions.
In aggregate, these are all signs that things
in our brains are programmed differently, Goudy
said. But, like all things, there are opportunities to
intervene. Like intervention, the earlier you identify
the problem, the easier it is to fix.
Goudy said identifying poor phonological
ability by first grade can often aid a dyslexic childs
future. He provided statistics that suggest the
ability to read and write by third grade can affect
an individuals academic career and overall future,
making it the most impactful moment.
Goudy said the easiest way to identify dyslexic
children is through hearing loss. School mandated
hearing tests are often a good indicator but are
never followed up on. Given the odds, the number
of dyslexic students who may not know it at CSD
and other districts may be staggering, according to
Goudy.
Struggling through tears, parents related how
they were told by CSD that their childs disability
may be a fad, that their children were lazy and that
teachers refused to use the word dyslexia.
While the district grants children individualized
learning plans (IPs), parents said obtaining an
IP takes about a year on average. According to
parents, students who were identified and treated
after third grade continue to struggle.
Emily Howards son was allegedly a reluctant
reader and not a hard worker when it came to
reading, according to CSD teachers. It took a
$3,000 evaluation from a specialist to determine
