When it comes to funding public education, the community voice is paramount! The Atlanta Board of Education has established the TAD Investment Review Committee or TAD-IRC to ensure a transparent and accountable review of TAD investments! The primary goal of the TAD-IRC is to ensure public input shapes decisions that affect Atlanta's students and neighborhoods. → What is a TAD? Tax Allocation Districts or TADs are one of the tools used to support neighborhood revitalization while also influencing how and when funding becomes available to Atlanta Public Schools. → Have questions?
