Take Action to Protect Our Schools
Here are a few things you can do to help make your voice heard.
Contact the DeKalb County School District’s Board of Education
Let decision-makers know how this plan affects your family and community. Share information on the flaws in the SAP process and concerns with the lack of understanding around the impact of these school closures.
Attend School Board meetings and Parent Engagement Meetings
In-person public input matters. Show up and speak out.
Upcoming school board meetings:
Monday, July 13, 2026 - 5:45 p.m.
Monday, August 10, 2026 - 5:45 p.m.
Monday, September 14, 2026 - 5:45 p.m.
Sign up to speak at the school board meetings.
To request to speak in person at a Board of Education meeting, you must submit a request in writing to communityinputspeakerrequests@dekalbschoolsga.org by 5:30 p.m. on the day of the meeting.
To speak virtually, email the request on the Sunday prior to the meeting before 5:30 p.m.
Visit the DeKalb County Schools website for full instructions and information.
Spread the word
Not everybody is aware of the school closing plans proposed by the county’s SAP plan even though it’ll affect the entire county. To help more families understand what’s at stake you can share information on social media, talk to your neighbors, display a yard sign and invite others to public meetings.
