The last day of school is nearing for Atlanta Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Lisa Herring.

The Atlanta Board of Education said Herring will transition out of her role by Aug. 31, into an APS consultant role through the end of December.

The Board announced in June it would not extend Herring’s contract. She was sworn in in July 2020 during the height of the pandemic.
