APFE is a vehicle for establishing and maintaining creative, quality partnerships to support the Atlanta Public Schools and help improve school achievement. The program is based on the belief that businesses and communities that are actively involved in the school system gain a deeper understanding of what is needed to make a positive difference in the lives of Atlanta's school children. APFE offers the Atlanta-area business community and various nonprofit, civic, higher education, religious, social, and professional organizations the best opportunity to directly strengthen their commitments to public education. There are currently over 400 partners participating in over 450 partnerships with Atlanta's public schools and programs, with many Organizations partnering with more than one school or program. APFE is a 501(c)3 organization that was founded in 1981 to provide a vehicle for the active participation of Atlanta-area businesses, and the larger community, in supporting the Atlanta Public School System (APS). APFE is governed by a 33-member board of advisors (currently chaired by Ann Cramer) consisting of representatives from Atlanta's business, civic and education communities. The APFE Advisory Board is responsible for monitoring APFE's operations and recommending policies and procedures that will ensure effective and fiscally sound programs and operations, while also providing leadership, advice, resources, and direction to the APFE staff and volunteers. APFE's mission is to enhance and improve the quality of education for students in the Atlanta Public School System by establishing and maintaining high caliber and creative partnerships between individual schools and Atlanta-area business, nonprofit, civic, higher education, religious, social, and professional communities. It is the goal of APFE to maintain a program that is continuously responsive and committed to the needs of both the schools and its business partners. In an APFE partnership, an APS School and its community/corporate partner collaborate to achieve mutually agreed-upon goals and objectives. APFE partnerships match partner-provided resources to identified needs of the school system or an individual school, based primarily on the system or school achievement plan. The school system or individual school may also provide needed resources to the community/corporate partner, based on the organizations mission, goals and objectives. Opportunities exist for partnerships at the elementary, middle and high school levels, as well as with specific school programs, individual grades or classes, and system-wide programs. State of the Schools in Atlanta Address- Similar to the Governor's state of the state address and the Mayor's state of the city address, this event gives the atlanta public school (aps) superintendent a public forum to present progress, challenges, and future direction of APS.
