CCSD wants LGST, PAB members

The Clarke County School District is looking for volunteers to serve on Local School Governance Teams and on the District's Parent Advisory Board. Deadline to apply is March 16.

From the Clarke Co School District…

— The Clarke County School District is inviting community members to “bring their hands and hearts to our work,” by applying to join one of two governance and feedback bodies operating at all 21 CCSD schools. Parents, community members, faith leaders, and business representatives are encouraged to apply to serve on Local School Governance Teams (LSGTs). These governance bodies work with school leaders to set school goals, develop plans, help design strategies to boost student learning, and serve as a bridge to the full school community. Each school has three “Community Seats,” which may be filled by anyone in the community, regardless of where the school is located or where the community member resides in Clarke County. Please click here for more information on LSGTs. The Parent Advisory Board (PAB) promotes the discussion and development of a shared vision of the educational needs of all students in the Clarke County School District. PAB provides a forum for share opinions and ideas with parents, the school district administration, and the Clarke County Board of Education. Each school seeks two parents from its community to serve on PAB. The group meets monthly to learn about district-wide issues and programs and offer advice and feedback to the Superintendent. Please click here for more information on the PAB. Click here for the candidate form (for both LSGT and PAB). The deadline to apply is March 16, 2020. LSGT and PAB representatives will be chosen in a school-wide election, online election process managed by the Office of Community Engagement and Strategic Partnerships. Community Information Sessions will be held March 2nd and 16th from 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. at the Athens Community Career Academy.
