From Superintendent Dr. Phyllis Edwards&#8230;
As you may know from the recent news, the State of Georgia is not collecting the revenue they anticipated because of the weak economy.  This shortfall will affect all public schools in Georgia.

Back in August 2009, the City Schools of Decatur adopted a new grading policy (see Action Item C), which would increase the use of International Baccalaureate assessment for learning in Decatur&#8217;s school district.
