Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Scott kicked off our two-day June Leadership Meeting yesterday with a message focusing on strengthening the Culture of Literacy in CCSD and throughout Athens-Clarke County as the core of our work.
School and district leaders also heard a presentation from Dr. Garry McGiboney and Arianne Weldon of Get Georgia Reading, focusing on literacy as a public health issue with multiple influencing factors and providing strategies on how we can effectively address and improve literacy rates in our schools and throughout the community.
Leaders spent the second half of the day with a deep dive into their student performance and attendance data from the past year, sharing successes to build off and areas of growth to focus on. The work will continue all day today with a more intensive look at their school improvement plans and building a game plan to best position their schools to have the best year yet in 2026-27!
