Note from the Executive Director

The Office of Innovation is pleased to support the district's charter schools with the 1st Annual Buy Back Services Guide. The guide will provide you with a description and pricing of the services available to your school. Each service also has an identified contact so that further information can be obtained, if needed. Included in the guide is a set of no cost/low cost student centered services and activities for your review (see Teaching & Learning). In the coming months, a financial addendum to the guide will be published. The addendum will provide you with everything your business managers will need to know to process payments to APS for the services selected. I hope you find this guide useful and take advantage of the many services offered. Gayle Burnett Executive Director, Office of Innovation

How to Use This Guide:

The guide is divided into four sections; Human Resources, Information Technology, Operations, and Curriculum and Instruction. Each division has provided brief descriptions, their availability, conditions, the primary district contact, and the costs associated with their service offerings.

Teaching and Learning is broken into 3 distinct subdivisions: -Free Services ? These offerings require no form of payment to Atlanta Public Schools. -Basic Services ? These offerings carry minimal to moderate costs. -Vendor Services ? These offerings require the usage of Atlanta Public Schools contracts.
