The @APSCarverEC family mourns the loss of our founding principal Marcene Thornton. Ms. Thornton was a trailblazer whose vision for Carver Early College provided scholars with unprecedented
life-changing opportunities! We will continue to honor her legacy 🙏🏾❤️

(Thread) Out of an abundance of caution, and due to predicted wind and rain, we will hold in-person school on Friday, September 30, 2022 but we will cancel or postpone all field trips, after-school activities, and athletic events beginning Friday and through the weekend.

PSA: To be brutally honest, we need everyone to act now. We're seeing a significant rise in cases and that has to change for us to go back to face-to-face instruction Please practice social distancing and wear a face covering now. We REALLY want to see our kiddos on August 10th.

APS is largest contributor to 5 of 10 TADs, investing $434M, so far, & another $1.2B to go. APS shared concerns w/ COA that should be addressed b4 APS is put in a position to participate in new commitments in any TAD. Amendments need to happen to protect schools & taxpayers. – at Atlanta, GA
The House Study Committee on Real Property Taxation Reform is conducting a good discussion on the property appraisal and appeals process. We need a property tax system that provides predictability for homeowners and taxing jurisdictions. @APS_Finance @patgardner @CarstarphenMJ
