What’s new: Five new schools and a new start-up charter school open. An expected increase of almost 2,000 students puts Georgia’s fourth largest system at about 90,000. The system also launches the Fulton Institute of Technology, a technical high school. For the first time, schools evaluate teachers on a “value-added” performance system, which measures student progress throughout the year rather than only on standardized tests given once a year.
