Atlanta Public Schools Superintendent Meria Carstarphen will speak at a community meeting next week.

Carstarphen will discuss the district's strategic plan, its work to turn around low-performing schools and plans for the rest of the school year. The event will start at 6 p.m. Jan. 21 meeting in the auditorium at Douglass High School, 225 Hamilton E. Holmes Drive, NW. 

The event is hosted by A.C.T.I.O.N. Network of Atlanta, which seeks to promote public engagement.
