Commissioner Guinn proposed sweeping changes to Atlanta public schools including redistricting, a seven year grammar course, and moving to a unit system in high schools. The plan also calls for reducing class sizes to about 30, detaching the normal school from Girls High, and survey-directed reforms to be studied by a state supervisor. The board urged immediate study and possible implementation next school year.
