Dr. Hayes, acting superintendent, spoke with Family Council last night. Here are some highlights from her presentation and the discussion.

What an encouraging start to the school year! 💙

Family Council was grateful to welcome Acting Superintendent Dr. Chandra Hayes to our first meeting, where she shared her priorities, answered questions, and listened to families.

As always, thank you to Dr. Daphne Keiser and her team for their ongoing partnership and commitment to connecting families with the people and support they need.

The energy in the room was high. Representatives left feeling heard and excited about the possibilities ahead—and about what we can accomplish together for ACPS students.

From literacy and math to recess, classroom technology, and communication, we covered a lot. Read our recap to catch up on the conversation:
