DeKalb Schools Central Office ReOrganization Phase I

Superintendent Stephen Green

At the board meeting on Monday, the Board of Education approved Dr. Green’s latest reorganization plan.

“The DeKalb County School District reorganization enables the District to operationalize the Strategic Plan and supports the realignment of the core business of improving the teaching and learning experience for increased student achievement. The proposed design is a means to that end. Central to this restructured design is the reallocation of resources, one that flattens the layers of bureaucracy through decentralization, placing critical human capital and other services in the field.”
— Dr. Stephen Green, Superintendent DCSD
