SPECIAL WEEK HONORS GEORGIA’S SCHOOL BOARDS
The Stewart County School District is joining in a statewide celebration this week to salute the efforts of local school board members. The week of March 18-22, 2013, has been proclaimed School Board Appreciation Week in Georgia. The weeklong observance calls attention to the contributions of local boards of education.
“Citizens elect board members to represent the community’s voice on education matters and to set the vision for the school district,” said Superintendent Floyd Fort. “Our board spends countless hours fulfilling its responsibilities and working together to continually improve our education system. “As the men and women citizens elect to represent them in education matters, local school boards represent a continuing commitment to local citizen control and decision-making in education,” said the Superintendent.
The men and women serving our school district are: Thereatha Redding, Chairperson; David Barrett, Vice Chair; Austin Taylor; Kesha Nelson; and Samuel Jones.
As constitutional officers of Georgia, school board members are responsible for setting educational policies, employing school policies, providing buildings and equipment, operating a transportation system and disbursing school funds. As community leaders, school board members serve as advocates for the children in local public schools and must study, evaluate and decide what actions are in the best interest of those students.
The Georgia School Boards Association (GSBA) sponsors the celebration. The mission of GSBA is to ensure excellence in the governance of local school systems by providing leadership, advocacy and services, and by representing the collective resolve of Georgia’s 180 elected boards of education.
