Atlanta Public Schools (APS) became a charter system on September 25, 2015, to increase student achievement and improve organizational effectiveness and efficiency. APS’s charter contract is effective July 1, 2016.
A key component of operating as a Georgia charter system is the establishment of Local School Governance Teams at the 71 APS neighborhood schools. Local School Governance Teams are also known as LSGTsand/or GO Teams. GO Teams work with school leadership and the community to help determine the long term direction of the school, design innovative solutions to increase student achievement, and serve as school ambassadors to the local community.
Who is on the GO Team?
GO Teams consist of 3 parents (elected by parents), 3 instructional staff (elected by staff members), 2 community members (nominated by principal), 1 swing seat (selected by GO Team), and 1 principal (non-voting member).Sarah Smith Elementary Public Comment Information:
