The Fulton County School System is a school district headquartered in East Point, Georgia, United States.^[1]^[2] The system serves the area of Fulton County, Georgia outside the Atlanta city limits (which are served by Atlanta Public Schools). Fulton County Schools serve the cities of Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton, Mountain Park, Roswell, and Sandy Springs north of Atlanta, and Chattahoochee Hills, College Park, East Point, Fairburn, Hapeville, Palmetto, Union City, and Fulton's remaining unincorporated areas in the south. Fulton County is the fourth-largest school system in Georgia.

As of the 2006-2007 school year, Fulton has more than 11,000 full-time employees, including more than 6,100 teachers and other certified personnel, who work in 90 schools and 15 administrative and support buildings. More than 86,600 students will attend classes in 53 elementary schools, 18 middle schools, 12 high schools, two alternative middle/high schools, two learning centers, and 12 charter schools. Two elementary schools operate on year-round calendars.

Georgia’s standard school year is 180 days. There is a current proposal to shorten the Fulton County school year to 175 days. This would start the school year 1-week later and provide for a full week off at Thanksgiving (the students currently only attend Monday and Tuesday of that week). To make up for this time, the current four "early release" days would become full days, and the school day would be extended by 11 minutes. “Being taken into consideration [is] how we can deliver instruction in the best way possible but also find financial savings,” said Fulton spokeswoman Susan Hale, who is a member of the system’s calendar committee. A final decision is expected in October 2009. If changes are approved, they would go into effect for the 2010-2011 school year.
