Beginning July 1, 2016, Atlanta Public Schools became a Charter System. Our district is working to create more freedom and flexibility for our schools to find new ways to boost student achievement. The best part: parents, educators, and community members now share in the decision-making process by joining the school’s GO Team.

Each school has a governance team—a GO Team. This team is composed of parents, teachers, and community members, and its job is to develop a school's strategic plan, set priorities, monitor progress, and approve a budget that is in alignment with the plan. 

The GO Team can also request flexibility to do something innovative and different in their school. This is an opportunity for you to be part of the process and add your voice and expertise to address the needs specific to your school.

Spring 2025 GO Team Elections

Vote April 16 - 25

Almost 300 people declared their candidacy for their school's GO Team!  Take a few minutes to read the declaration statements for the candidates for your school.  Parents/guardians will vote only for parent/guardian candidates and school staff will only vote for staff candidates.

Voting will open Wednesday, April 16.  Households will receive a unique voting link for schools where they have at least one student. Links will be sent up to two ways based upon information from Infinite Campus: email, text, and/or physical mailer.  APS Staff will receive their unique link through their APS email address. Each link may be used only once.

Please take a few minutes in April to let your voice be heard by casting your vote!
