Volunteers are needed for a proposed Doraville Schools and Education Task Force that will be formed in the near future. Doraville City Council gave the task force the green light at the Council meeting on August 18.
Volunteer task force members will be asked to research and provide comprehensive and impartial reports to the Doraville City Council regarding the academic learning environment in Doraville. The task force will make recommendations on ways to improve the learning environment, with the intention of making our local school system more appealing to young families looking to move into the area.
There are many talented and informed citizens in Doraville and this task force would be an excellent opportunity to participate in the future of the city.
