2024-25 Meeting Documents
School Governance Council Meeting Documents
Each meeting of the School Governance Council typically generates three public documents: an agenda; a brief summary of action items that occurred during the meeting; and a detailed set of meeting minutes. We will display these documents on our website for the current school year, along with those from the previous year. If you need to view older documents, please contact our School Governance & Flexibility Department at schoolgovernance@fultonschools.org.

From Fulton Schools SGC: We Need Your Feedback!
We are in the process of updating our SGC new member training and would love to hear your thoughts. To gather your feedback, we're using a tool called ThoughtExchange. All of your voices matter, so your participation is crucial and valued. Click here to participate: https://tejoin.com/scroll/999221605
You'll be asked to respond to one open-ended question, consider and assign stars to some of the ideas shared by others (20 to 30 is ideal), and learn what's important to the group. Your thoughts and stars are confidential. You can come back as often as you'd like to participate and, in fact, we ask that you do come back to star some of the new ideas shared since you first participated. The ratings will help us understand the most important areas to focus on. The ThoughtExchange will close on January 10th.
