DeKalb School Board withdraws contract of superintendent finalist District faces uncertainty in preparing 2021 budget

By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmediagroup.com STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. — Barely two weeks after naming him the sole finalist for the job, the DeKalb County School Board withdrew its support of Rudy Crew as the district’s new superintendent.

The board voted 4-3 to reject the contract May 11 as pressure from constituents opposed to the appointment mounted.

Crew came under fire early this month for a series of news accounts chronicling his tenure at past leadership posts in school systems around the nation.

He left as superintendent of the Miami-Dade School System in 2008 over charges that he had mishandled the budget, overspending by millions of dollars. Crew also faced questions about his tenure in Oregon where he served as the state’s first Chief Education Officer in 2012 and 2013. After his resignation, questions arose about frequent outof-state trips on missions he said were designed at fundraising.

Crew currently serves as president of Medgar Evers College in New York City, where he has spent the past seven years.

The board action comes at a precarious time for the DeKalb School District, the third largest in the state. With Interim Superintendent Ramona Tyson set to step down this summer, DeKalb Schools is faced with negotiating the turbulent 2021 school year without a main rudder.

For her part, Tyson briefed the School Board on some of the challenges

the district is facing for the current budget year.

“We are not in normal times,” she said. “In fact, we are in very unusual circumstances and unprecedented times.”

Tyson said that in normal times, the board would be considering a proposed budget for the coming year in May, with a final adoption in June.

This year is different, she said.

The state, one of the key funding sources for school districts, has yet to adopt its own budget, she said. Until that happens, she added, DeKalb Schools cannot know what state funding it will receive for the coming year.

Right now, Tyson said, the general recommendation from the governor is for a 14 percent cut in state funding. For DeKalb Schools, she said, that represents a decline of $76 million.

Over recent weeks, she said, the budget team had been preparing 2021 budget scenarios based on a 5 percent and a 10 percent cut in state funding.

When the 14 percent cut was announced, Tyson said, “it was a gamechanger.”

In addition, DeKalb County has yet to determine the 2020 tax digest which the school district uses to determine how much it can expect to receive in local property taxes.

As things stand now, preliminary estimates show DeKalb Schools with a budget shortfall for the coming year of between $60-$80 million, according to the district’s budget team. The figure anticipates revenues of about $1.1 billion and expenses ranging between $1.16-$1.18 billion.

To fill the gap, the district hopes to use part of its federal CARES Act allocation of $33 million and draw additional

The board voted 4-3 to reject the contract May 11 as pressure from constituents opposed to the appointment mounted. help from the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund. In addition, work is underway to trim expenses as much as possible.

“No one likes the big ‘furlough’ word,” Tysons said. “But, we have to put that on the table at some point.”

Some of the current cost-cutting initiatives, coupled with lowered expenses due to building closures, brought one bit of good news. Finance staff reported the district is projected to begin the new fiscal year in July with a carryover balance of $160 million from the current year.

That’s a sharp increase in what had been anticipated.

“Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is significantly higher,” Board Member Stan Jester said. “I don’t mean just mildly significant. I mean, this is enormous. We’ve been fighting to get to $100 million, and now, out of the blue, we’re at $160 million?”

Based on the presentation from the budget team, the School Board will consider a resolution in June that would allocate funding for operations in July only. Plans would call for adoption of a formal budget late in July to cover the remaining 11 months of the fiscal year.

The Dunwoody City Council meets virtually May 11 to discuss temporary outdoor dining and bicycle regulations.

Council: Continued from Page 1 travel on sidewalks if the rider is 12 years old or younger. However, city ordinances can supersede the state law if cities choose to allow older bicyclist, City Attorney Bill Riley explained.

Dunwoody does not have such an ordinance, although several council members admitted the city’s current rules are confusing. The city code includes guidelines for bicycle use on sidewalks, including a provision that bikers must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and must give an audible signal before passing a pedestrian.

Two residents spoke during public comment urging the council to allow bikes on sidewalks, saying that riding on the road, even one with painted bike lanes, is intimidating and dangerous to all but the most experienced bicyclists.

Council members Jim Riticher and

Pam Tallmadge said they supported allowing bikes on sidewalks.

“We need to get there any way we can,” Riticher said. “I think that should be an option, with pedestrians of course having right-of-way.”

Council members Tom Lambert and John Heneghan indicated they were open to the change but raised some concerns as well.

“There are pros and cons to both sides of this,” Lambert said. “Obviously, there are pros in situations with families riding on the sidewalk with younger children. Also, some of our aging population might not feel safe riding on our roads.”

However, Lambert said, some bicyclists would not follow the guidelines and could put pedestrians at risk. Cars pulling out of driveways also might not be looking out for bikes and would have less time to react to avoid a collision.

The council agreed to let staff draft a new ordinance and will discuss the matter at future meetings.

Chamber webinar answers questions on teleworking

By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DUNWOODY, Ga. — Local economic development groups are working to give small businesses the tools they need to adapt to a new economy.

Thursday, Perimeter Connects, a program of the Perimeter Community Improvement Districts, in collaboration with the Dunwoody Perimeter Chamber of Commerce and the City of Dunwoody’s Economic Development Department, hosted a round table talk on working from home.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, many businesses were forced to switch to remote work overnight. Others may have already been taking slow steps to implement telework and had to suddenly speed up the process.

Some workers may be longing for the day they can return to their office, but many have enjoyed the flexible schedule and lack of commute that comes with working from home.

According to Elham Shirazi, a telework expert and one of the panelists on Thursday’s call, employers can see many benefits to teleworking, such as increased productivity and better recruitment and retention.

“Not everybody wants to telework,” she said. “It’s not ideal for every job, but

when it’s implemented properly, it’s not uncommon to see productivity increase 10 to 20 percent.”

The Dunwoody Perimeter Chamber transitioned to a work-from-home setup in January, and CEO and President Stephanie Freeman said she has seen benefits.

“We are much more productive,” she said. “We have to be much more intentional with our time. There’s none of that office cooler conversation, you really get right to work.”

Of course, COVID-19 has created less than ideal conditions for a transition to remote work.

“Before COVID, when we talked

about teleworking, it was a controlled environment,” Shirazi said. “Children were at school. Your spouse was at their office. You had a designated home office space set up. There wasn’t all this anxiety that we have now.”

Realizing that some organizations may have been pleasantly surprised by a teleworking productivity boost, or that others may need to retain at least some remote work out of safety concerns, Shirazi’s talk focused on the practicalities of setting up a long-term, work-from-home business model.

“If you want to keep teleworking in your organization, you need to start

planning now, and you need to manage expectations,” she said.

Shirazi discussed the legal consideration of teleworking and tips for drafting work-from-home policies. The hallmarks of a successful remote work model, according to Shirazi, are clear expectations, measurable productivity and frequent 1-on-1 check-ins between managers and staff. These not only ensure your team is meeting their goals, but also protects against burnout, she said.

“It’s important to look over the horizon and think about how we can come out of this smarter,” Dunwoody Economic Development Director Michael Starling said. “This crisis has been thrust upon us, but we can use it to come out of this better than we were before.”

Perimeter Connects Program Manager Johann Weber said he hopes the roundtable discussion helps small organizations that are unable to adapt in the way a large corporation can.

“The challenges of navigating remote work are just fundamentally different for a small business,” he said. “You have the challenges of trying to evolve and innovate without the same resources or specialization that larger organizations have access to.”

However, small organizations also have the benefit of being able to change direction more quickly, he said.

OPINION

TheCrier.net | Dunwoody Crier | May 21, 2020 | 5

The keyboard expert If the coronavirus has shown us anything, there are far more epidemiologists, virologists and health experts in America than most could have ever imagined.

Well, if you consider the comments being JOE PARKER thrown around on Editor joe@appenmediagroup.com social media, anyway.

It seems as if far more of those around us are experts on this new virus than those who actually hold positions or offices that deem them far more knowledgeable in such matters.

These newly minted health experts take up arms, in this case, keyboards, to combat these “so-called” experts at every turn. They dismiss anything they say that does not conform to what they want to hear. They label any article that does not paint a rosy outlook for the pandemic as “fearmongering,” regardless of what information the article contains.

Because of course, they know the truth.

They have turned heroes — those working to combat this virus head-on from behind desks, in hospitals and in laboratories — into villains.

But everyone is still entitled to their opinion, even if it has no factual basis.

And most of these statements and social media comments can be ignored, but those who are still spewing that COVID-19 is a “hoax,” or “basically the flu,” or “has only killed” what this person suggests is insignificant numbers, are despicable.

That is because there are people who see these comments who have been impacted greatly by this virus and know a hell of a lot more about it than a twit belching out incredibly callous statements while hiding behind a keyboard.

And hiding they are, because I can simply not believe there are those in this world who could actually be so heartless as to say these things, face to face, to people who have been devastated by the virus.

Look Hilary New in the eye and tell her things are being “blown out of proportion.” Her 65-year old mother from Rome, Georgia, contracted the virus in early March. New’s mother told her to “pull the plug” if she had to be placed on a ventilator, and her daughter had to make the gut-wrenching decision to comply.

Tell Chanda Grubbs, a North Carolina woman who lost her husband and father of three children, Adrien, to coro-

navirus that the virus is “not a big deal.”

Face Linda Green and tell her “it’s pretty much just the flu.” Her 37-year old daughter Brent, a Georgia native and mother of twin 12-year old boys, died from coronavirus without having any preexisting conditions.

Call up Nancy Hopkins of South Carolina who was unable to visit or speak to her father in the hospital as he died from COVID-19 that it’s “just a hoax.”

Tell your neighbor that a virus that has killed 80,000 people in our nation alone, that these “so-called health experts” are fearmongering.

If a person can still stand by those statements as they meet those whose lives have been devastated by this impact, they are not an enlightened person. They are unbelievably callous.

And anyone who would say such things is damn sure not a health expert.

as to what we can or can’t do, long for the day when we’re free to move around our communities, state, country and world at large. So many events, so many get-togethers, so many trips, cancelled.

What will the “new normal” look like?

In 1957, travel writer Arthur Frommer published his seminal guide book, “Europe on $5 a Day.” It was an interesting time to publish a travel book as the global economy took a nosedive in late 1957, a slump tagged the “Eisenhower Recession” as Ike was president at the time. It was a short, eight-month pullback, ending in May, 1958. The rebound was equally

sharp, and rolling into 1959 and the early 1960s the American economy headed toward new high levels of employment and production. The dollar was strong against weaker European currencies, adding an attractive bargain element for tourists.

Frommer’s book inspired legions of recent college graduates and other adventurous souls to head for Europe on a budget.

The woman I met in 1966 and who would become my wife, a 1961 Penn State graduate, and another teacher, in 1963 took off for Europe with Frommer’s book in hand. Using a Eurail Pass (introduced in 1959), they traveled Europe inexpensively. Staying in pensions and small guest houses, eating like locals in small restaurants or buying bread, “fixins,” and local wine for a picnic, each averaged about $7 a day in spending.

She did splurge once, spending $15 for one night for a shared room and a meal at a more upscale accommodation in Pamplona, Spain, during the annual “running of the bulls” craziness.

Fast forward to today. It takes $40.93 in 2020 dollars to equal what $5 represented in 1957 in terms of buying power, or over $44 when converted to euros at current rates, even with the dollar strong and the euro somewhat weak on a historical basis. But it’s doubtful that you can do Europe on anywhere near $44 a day! Travel guru Rick Steves notes that a typical budget European double room averages about $110 a night. Says Steves, “You’ll pay about $80 at a pension in Madrid, $100 in a simple guesthouse in rural Germany or a B&B on the Croatian coast, and $150 for a 2-star hotel in Paris.”

You can pay more. The 5-star Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris quotes rates starting at $1,168 a night checking in June 22, 2020.

Post-Covid-19, there will be bargains.

But will people want to travel? It took almost four years before passenger air traveler numbers got back to where they were pre-9/11. We can’t say to what ex-

tent, but there will be outstanding buys and perks. Airlines, cruise lines, hotels and tour operators will tout incentives to get you “back out there.”

What might change? When it comes to retirement goals, many list “travel” as a highly desired priority, especially those with the time and money to do so. However, those north of age 65 fall into the socalled “high risk group” when it comes to pandemic plagues. Even routine seasonal flu is a risk. Will airlines use non-contact thermometers to deny boarding to those indicating a fever? Will cruise lines do the same? Who bears the cost of an aborted trip? Is trip insurance the answer?

As one ages, trip insurance gets increasingly costly, adding as much as 10 percent or more to the cost of the trip while excluding anything that can be linked to a “pre-existing condition.” Basic policies generally exclude pandemics or worries about getting sick, and “cancel for any reason” coverage is quite costly. Airlines, cruise lines and trip operators may have to come up with a less costly way to indemnify travelers from the risk of cancelled trip penalties. We know that people get on airplanes and cruise ships when they’re “not feeling so hot” since they don’t want to forfeit the costs of the trip.

Those with money are more likely to opt for first class, business class, or premium economy to avoid being squeezed into coach in closer proximity to others.

Hopefully, many people will continue to exercise and spend more time walking and running outside so as to be in good physical shape, better to withstand any illness Mother Nature throws at them. Or maybe we’ll forget and go back to some of our bad habits of the past. Hopefully, no.

You will soon be free to roam about the world. Or not.

Fulton Science Academy The graduating senior Class of 2020 is experiencing quite a “mixing bowl” effect leading up to their graduation.

They were tossed into a situation without warning and out of their control. But it did not end here as related and unrelated ingredients kept getting tossed in and mixed together changing their reality daily. Seniors around the country are dealing with so many changes being thrust upon them without warning. But even so ...they persevered, they rode the waves of uncertainty and triumphed.

College decisions also did not come easy and seniors now had to consider so much more than just their dream school. So much more had to be considered now than just being homesick.

FSA continues to build its high school program with a focus on college prep and readiness. The program is interactive and encourages students to self-think and consider the pros and cons outside the norm when entertaining colleges. We are so proud of our graduating seniors and want to wish them all the luck in the world as they head out to the various “places they will go”. “YOU ROLLED WITH IT AND THE BEST OF 2020 IS YET TO COME” as you continue your journey, “Surviving the 20’s”.

Your stories: How COVID-19 is impacting the community

By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com NORTH METRO ATLANTA, Ga. — Along with hundreds of her classmates at Northwestern Middle School in Milton and hundreds of thousands of students across the nation, seventh grader Vanshika Singh has been forced to adjust to a “new normal” in which home is also school and interactions with friends have gone completely digital.

“Now, my days have been focused into Google Classroom SINGH assignments, endless searching on the TV, searching for a new hobby, and on extremely bor ing days, gazing off into my backyard hoping that one day I’ll be able to go beyond my wooden fence and busy neighborhood, and go back to my old,

normal life,” Singh said. “But then I wonder, is this the new normal?”

Singh said she had not realized the social environment being in school afforded her until it was halted by the pandemic. She says her social time is now spent texting and calling people digitally, but those means of interacting do not give her the level of social satisfaction she desires.

She especially feels for those who have even less interaction. Prior to the pandemic, Singh said she and her family volunteered on weekends at a nearby Arbor Terrace assisted living center.

“Now I look at the news and see that the retirement homes are also undergoing quarantine,” she said. “And it breaks my heart, because the seniors can’t even have their family members visit them or have people from outside come in to entertain them. And all they can do is stay inside the building every day, hoping that they can see their family once this is all over.”

There are also the stories of those who are We want to know unemhow the coronavirus ployed or pandemic is impacthomeless, ing your daily life, Singh said. and we will continue Wanting to publish reader to help submissions. If you in some would like to contribway, Singh ute, email Joe Parker asked her at joe@appen mother mediagroup.com. to donate funds to those is Dunwoody Crossword need, and she Crier agreed5/21/20 to do so.

Singh said she has always wanted to be a doctor and help people, and the pandemic has increased that desire as she watches medical workers risking their lives “to make sure that ours are still intact.”

Though middle school years are a

mostly carefree time, the pandemic does still weigh heavy on those entering their teenage years.

“It’s not so bad to not leave the house to go shopping or go out to eat every once in a while, which has led me to believe that in these times we should all be close to our dear ones and care about our families,” she said. “It’s weird because there are days when I’m having the time of my life just staying at home and relaxing, but then there are the times when the discombobulated feelings of helplessness, boredom and loneliness plague my time alone.”

But, there are some silver linings.

“To my surprise, quarantine has also brought many good changes in my life, such as me trying to eat healthier, work out way more than I did before, and just change my lifestyle for the better,” Singh said. “Despite no apparent end of this virus in sight, I hope quarantine brings out the best in me, in society and in nature.”
