Improving the quality of Atlanta public schools will strengthen communities, drive our population growth, raise property values, increase public safety and create a a stronger workforce. City Hall must work with Atlanta Public Schools to recruit, reward, and retain top teachers, reduce class size and raise the standards of excellence in each of our schools. We can do this with the current level of funding.
