Notable Quotes (3)
This is a Scott County Schools board meeting not a Georgetown Middle School site based meeting and we will not be and as a result this this is not a decision of the Scott County Board of Education.
Why is the fastest growing District in the state forcing its schools to cut teacher positions which in turn is forcing site base councils to cut Fine Arts and Performing Arts programs?
Putting a choir teacher in front of a band teach a band class is the antithesis of this Mission.
