Partner Outreach Support
If you have information that you would like the APS Office of Partnerships & Development to consider sharing with its stakeholders, please complete our Partner Outreach Support Request Form.
Requests should be sent in 4-6 weeks ahead of the event/programming date. Requests will be promoted as the team is able to support them. The team will promote information on various platforms based on the intended target audience and date of receipt.

Thank you for your continued support of our APS community of stakeholders!
Partners wishing to formalize their partnership with an APS school(s) should complete the following steps:
Complete the Partnership Interest form: https://forms.gle/4wws4Zj4FEgePuwC8. The Office of Partnerships and Development will be in touch to schedule a meeting if necessary.
Meet with school(s) to determine their interest in a partnership.
After a school has determined that they want a partnership, the organization will:
Complete the APS Memorandum of Understanding template. Organizations will complete the APS MOU template. Organizations have the option of attaching their own agreement within the completed APS MOU as Exhibit A.
Send the MOU for review. Send the completed MOU to the school leader (or school leader’s designee) for review. The school leader or designee will review Exhibit A of the MOU. Exhibit A is where organizations list the expectations of the organization and school. The organization will revise Exhibit A based on the school’s feedback. School leaders don’t sign MOUs or agreements.
Sign and submit the MOU. Organizations will sign the completed APS MOU, and email the APS MOU to the district’s Partnerships Manager, Katrina Ford at katrina.ford@atlanta.k12.ga.us.
Wait until the MOU is approved before beginning services. The Office of Partnerships and Development will submit the MOU to legal for review. Legal will complete the review in a minimum of 10 business days from the day they receive it. Legal may have edits or questions, so make sure the district’s Partnerships Manger has the correct contact information.
We're currently accepting MOUs for the 2024-2025 school year.
