The members

of the Board of Education have hosted these community meeting dates

for a number of years and are believed to be one of the few boards in

the country to use such a process for gathering input.

The meetings

provide an opportunity for direct contact with community members and

give board members a chance to listen to local issues and concerns.

Community

meeting dates also are posted on the system's Web site, www.fulton.k12.ga.us .
