V. Speaker

Meria Carstarphen – Superintendent, Atlanta Public Schools

Meria Carstarphen is the new superintendent of APS. Her appearance at BCN was her first public appearance in Buckhead. Several members of the Board of Education (Nancy Meister, Matt Westmoreland, and Cynthia Briscoe Brown) appeared with her and fielded some questions at the end of the session. BCN captured the audio of the entire Carstarphen presentation, all 1 hour and 51 minutes of it, as a 26 MB MP3. Carstarphen’s presentation is far too varied and detailed to attempt to summarize. If the reader missed the meeting and has any interest in APS, you are encouraged to set aside some time and listen to this exceptional presentation.

Reporters who attended the meeting did an excellent job in capturing the highlights of the session:

  • John Schaffner, BuckheadView: “APS’ new leader candidly addresses system issues, her vision in Buckhead meeting”
  • Nicole Dow, Neighbor Newspapers: “Carstarphen discusses challenges affecting Buckhead”
  • Collin Kelley, Reporter Newspapers: “Superintendent Meria Carstarphen outlines her vision for APS”

VI. New Business/Announcements

No announcements.

VII. Next Meeting September 11, 2014

VIII. Adjourn – The meeting adjourned at about 8:45 PM.

Note: The opinions expressed by the speakers and individual neighborhood representatives in these minutes do not necessarily represent those of BCN or its member neighborhoods.
