News from the Fulton County School System
Margaret White appointed as Associate Superintendent for Professional Learning and Leadership Development
As a district, we are constantly reevaluating our needs to make sure we fulfill our goal to “prepare all student to graduate ready to pursue and succeed on their chosen paths.”
Our latest move is to realign our FCS organizational structure with our new strategic plan. Professional Learning and Leadership Development will now be reporting to a new position recently approved by the Board: the Associate Superintendent for Professional Learning and Leadership Development. This position will be a part of the Academics Division.
Margaret White, the current Area Superintendent for the Northwest Learning Community, was appointed by the Superintendent for this new role and began this week. Her years dedicated to our school system and her experience in both professional and leadership development made her a perfect candidate to lead this work.
Until a replacement is named, Cliff Jones, current Area Superintendent for the Northeast Learning Community, will be overseeing both the Northeast and Northwest Learning Communities. With the help from both Area Executive Directors, Eric Hollinhead (NWLC) and Angela Parham (NELC), we are confident that we will be able to continue to provide a high level of service to our schools.
Attention 8th Grade Parents!!
The TRMS 8th grade students have a day of celebrating called "Last Blast" on the "last" day of school! The parents organize this fun day and we are beginning the planning NOW!
If you would like to help LEAD with us and be involved in the planning, please contact any of the following below and we'll notify you of the planning meeting. You will still have opportunities to volunteer, but as of now we are forming the planning committee only.
THANK YOU!
