ATLANTA â The Fulton County School System is entering the final year of its five-year building program in better shape financially and operationally than expected.
âWhat a climb we ve had and we re almost at the top,â said Louis Mosley, interim director of operations for the district. âThe good news is I have a message of promises made and promises delivered.â
