This just in from The Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education …
The Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education has announced that Charles R. Drew Charter School and The New Schools at Carver have been selected as two of seven schools that will make up this year’s annual Bus Trip Across Georgia. The theme this year is “Greater Flexibility, Greater Focus on Results.”
The tour, which includes a combination of educators, business, government and community leaders from around the state, began in 1993 and has been a fixture in state education circles ever since. Schools selected as stops have a proven track record of academic excellence and sustained performance. There is an emphasis this year on the flexibility provided in charter schools and charter systems, and systems with an IE2 (Investing in Educational Excellence) contract with the state.
