In Decatur points out the following note on the City Schools of Decatur website:

UPDATE: We have recently received notification from the Georgia Department of Education that the deadline for submitting System Charter applications has been moved to January 15, 2008. In light of this recent change, the Decatur Board of Education will NOT be holding a special session on October 29^th to vote on the System Charter application. Instead, the board will hold a special session in November to decide whether or not the City Schools of Decatur will apply for System Charter status. More information to follow.

Please send feedback on this work in progress to .

Regardless of your stance on this issue, I think it’s good that the city has a little more breathing room to consider this change.  Everything was feeling just a little too rushed for such a big decision.

The Public Input Session is still on for tomorrow at 6:30p at Westchester Central Office.
