DeKalb superintendent takes listening tour on the scene

DeKalb school superintendent Steve Green is hoping to endear himself to district stakeholders through a series of candid conversations about what the district is doing well and what it needs to do better.

“On the Scene with Dr. Green” will make its first stop Tuesday night at Stone Mountain High School, where Green will lead an hourlong conversation with parents, teachers and others wanting time with him. The session starts at 7 p.m. Green has said the talks allow him to keep his ear to the ground in DeKalb County while working to address issues already visible in the school district.

He said he first held such meetings in Kansas City, Mo., when he was superintendent of Kansas City Public Schools. Green became the DeKalb County School District superintendent in July after three years leading Kansas City Public Schools.
