On its first day, Decatur eLife’s new online education channel “Decatur EDtv has an excellent 9 1/2 minute summation of Decatur’s charter school journey up to the recent approval by the state. The telecast features extensive interviews with CSD Superintendent Dr. Phyllis Edwards, GA Dept of Education Charter Schools Office Director Andrew Broy, and GA Rep. Stephanie Benfield.
Even for someone like me that’s followed this process so closely, this was a very informative video. I especially appreciated the insight from the Charter Schools Director.
The next episode promises to detail the new roles within Decatur’s “Shining Star” Charter System.
How many school systems have a video channel dedicated to keeping parents and citizens informed about goings on at the public schools? I, for one, think its pretty cool.
P.S. There’s also a few other school related video’s already on Decatur EDtv’s main page if you’re interested.

This is truly amazing that our community has this new resource, as involved as Decatur families are with our school system. Thank you Decatur ELife.com for doing this great and needed service. I know Andrea Berry and her staff put a LOT of work into this…hope they get the support they deserve.
