Metro Atlanta K-12 district serving 92,600+ students across 135 schools
DeKalb County School District operates the third-largest public school system in Georgia with 14,500+ staff managing 92,600 students across 135 schools, centers, and charter facilities. The district is actively scaling operations—hiring accelerated in the last 30 days across education, operations, and support roles—while tackling infrastructure modernization (network upgrades, bus route optimization) and compliance-heavy initiatives (PBIS rollout, Title III requirements, 504 plan management). The junior-heavy hiring profile and focus on system-wide implementation projects signal ongoing organizational restructuring rather than simple headcount growth.
