Atlanta Superintendent Meria Carstarphen reiterated her desire to stay in her current job during her quarterly media round table Wednesday.

“The reason- I’ve explained to the public and the board- that I want to stay is because I believe the work isn’t done,” Carstarphen told reporters.

The Atlanta Board of Education decided Monday not to extend Carstarphen’s contract after it ends June 30, 2020.
