Various events are happening this week in and around DeKalb County, including the ending of the Fernbank Wildwoods: AGLOW Attraction, the Decatur Business Association Black History Program and an open house hosted by Leadership DeKalb. Several local government meetings are also scheduled for this week.
The changes take effect July 1, and officials hope they streamline the way they support their schools.
âI believe that the reassignments are going to [position] us now that weâre going to be back [teaching] face-to-face,â said board Chairman David Richardson. âAs we embark on our mantra of a new day, [that] new leadership and those reassignments are just kind of making sure everyoneâs on the right seat on the bus.
First, the board named Stan Winborne, now the assistant superintendent for operations and human resources, to the position of associate superintendent of curriculum, instruction and student services.
Winborne has served nearly 25 years with the district, and as head of curriculum and instruction will replace Michael Myrick, whoâs leaving to become superintendent of the Weldon City Schools.
