Dr. Avossa of Fulton County Schools Off Course

Fulton superintendent of schools criticized for his comments, actions over Fulton Science Academy.

In a few short months Dr. Avossa has accomplished what no other Superintendent has done nationwide --- 

He has denied a charter for the only nationally acclaimed school in his district.

He has denied a charter for the top Math and Science school in Fulton County and one that ranks in the top 5 in the state.

He has belittled the efforts of the parents, students, faculty, and staff saying in public forums including Rotary and Community Meetings that this Nationally Ranked and Award Wining school is not special and in fact is just average and mediocre.

He has on numerous occasions through his actions and words told elected officials and representatives of the people of the State of Georgia  that he knows what is best and that they should keep their opinions to themselves.

All because this newly minted Dr. of Education knows better and is smarter than us all
