Former Atlanta Councilman, State Senator To Hold Town Hall Meeting Tonight With Parents Over APS Cheating
Ideas for next steps sought
Former Atlanta city councilman and V-103 radio personality Derrick Boazman is hosting a town hall meeting — open to parents citywide — to seek ideas and solutions to the cheating scandal embroiling the Atlanta Public Schools.
The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. tonight at Mt. Nebo Baptist Church, 1025 McDonough Blvd., just off Moreland Avenue.
The intent is to look for solutions to begin fixing the problem, such as having churches hosting literacy programs, or giving parents training to give them the skills that will help keep their kids interested and involved at school.
