Parents have recently shared concerns about the City Schools of Decatur reading program and have asked the district to fully embrace the science of reading, train all elementary school teachers in structured literacy practices and eliminate balanced literacy programs.
Various events are happening this week in and around DeKalb County, including the holiday marketplace at Clariemont Elementary School, the work shop and open house for the Re-Imagine West Howard and Atlanta Avenue railroad crossing projects, and the Avondale Estates Christmas Tour of Lights. Several local government meetings are also scheduled for this week.
