System Events and Special Celebrations
for October 2008
School Board Meetings
Each month the Fulton County Board of Education schedules several public meetings to discuss educational issues and act on items requiring school board approval. The work session serves primarily to present information about agenda items requiring board approval. The board meeting then is held for the items to be approved.
All school board meetings can be watched live from a computer through videostreaming technology used by the Fulton County School System.
