Dr. Brian Shumate will be the guest speaker for our upcoming Trustbuilding Breakfast, Saturday, August 13, 2022. He will share with us some of the initiatives Troup County Schools is using to ensure student success in the classroom.
With a rapidly changing world and forces that disrupt normal rhythms, we are all learning to pivot on a dime and try new things to reach our goals. Our school system has not been exempt from facing increased challenges that require new ways of doing things.
The mission of the TROUP COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM is to educate all students in a challenging and safe learning environment, so they will become productive citizens in a diverse and changing world.
We will hear from Dr. Shumate about some of the opportunities and solutions implemented by the local school system to remove barriers to student success and accelerate learning at a higher level. We will save time for a question and answer segment.
