The DeKalb County School District is governed by a seven-member Board of Education, which sets policies and provides oversight for the district. The Superintendent, appointed by the Board, serves as the chief executive officer, leading the district’s daily operations.
Under the Superintendent’s leadership, the district is organized into various divisions — such as Curriculum and Instruction, Operations, Finance, and Human Resources — each responsible for key areas of educational services. These divisions are further structured into specialized departments that work together to support schools, students, and the community.
