Public participation in board meetings
The board maintains the following policy regarding public participation in board meetings last revised in 2010:
| “
|
All meetings of the Board of Education are open to the public except as stipulated by law. It is the belief of the School Board that members of the public should have an opportunity to speak at regular board meetings. Therefore, the agenda for every regularly scheduled board meeting will provide an opportunity for any member of the public to speak, however, the Board President will determine the parameters for public comment.
Members of the public who wish to speak at a regular board meeting must contact the superintendent’s office no later than 4:00PM the day of the regular meeting to be placed on the visitor’s list. To be placed on the visitor’s list, members of the public must provide their name, place of residence and speaking topic. Comments will be limited to 3 minutes and electronic or other forms of presentation are not allowed. However, speakers may leave their name and address to ensure that the superintendent or designee is able to contact the person if needed.
School Board members are not obligated to respond to questions or comments from the public.[6]

Academic performance
The Georgia Department of Education administers annual tests to students in grades three through eight called the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT). These tests assess the proficiency of district students in five academic subjects including reading, English language arts (ELA), math, science and social studies. The CRCTs are designed to measure progress by students in topics covered by the Common Core State Standards. A student meets state proficiency goals with a score of 800 and exceeds state proficiency goals with a score of 850 or higher. The following tables detail the percentage of students who met or exceeded proficiency levels on the CRCTs during the 2013-2014 school year:[12][13]
