John Arlotta Tyler Dewey Barbara & Neil Chur Stacia George Kristen D. Holtz, Ph.D. Superintendent continued from page 1 The Superintendent’s Art Collection continues to grow and encourage you to attend the Art Show and Tech Fair on Wednesday, May 16th featuring the exemplary art work and technology projects of students in grades K-12. We continue to be very competitive in interscholastic sports at the modified, junior varsity and varsity levels. Our teams consistently qualify to participate in ECIC, Sectional, Regional and State competitions. To all of this, students have the added opportunity to participate in a variety of clubs and organizations such as Masterminds, Student Government, Key Club, Model UN, Builders Club and Team America Rocketry Challenge. Another component of the Values and Vision for the District is maintaining our facilities in proper working order.We have made great progress with Phase 1 of our current facilities project. The turf field and bleachers/pressbox have been installed. We have completed upgrades to the tennis courts, baseball diamond, and drainage and lighting systems. Unfortunately, due to the unpredictable weather we have not been able to initiate the spring construction season. We are very hopeful within the next several weeks to complete Phase 1 and finish the installation of the 8 lane track, upgrade the soccer field and high school roofing, apply final asphalt to the athletic parking lot and groom the remaining grounds surrounding the fields. We are also in the process of preparing bids for the second phase of the project that will be presented to contractors within the next few months. Phase 2 of the facilities improvement project will touch each building and focuses on creating improved learning environments that directly impact our students. At Parkdale, we will upgrade the 1955 heating, ventilation and air conditioning as well as the auditorium sound system. In the Middle School, we will renovate and reconfigure the main entrance, main office and the second floor classrooms. We will also upgrade and reconfigure the music wing as well as the nurse’s and counseling offices. The High School will see improvements to the kitchen, locker rooms, shower and restroom areas. We will replace the bleachers in the gymnasium and touch up paint and other finishes. Maintaining this level of quality has been challenging considering the financial constraints we faced in recent years. Fortunately, the situation for the 2018-2019 school year has improved due to an increase in State funding. Despite the increase, we still had to make many difficult decisions relative to personnel and programming while maintaining our commitment to provide students with the best educational experience possible. I would like to thank our teachers, support staff, administrators and Board of Education members for all of their hard work in producing a responsible, balanced budget. The District is proud to present a budget that stays within the tax cap limit. Continued support from the community and our parents is greatly appreciated and will help us to maintain our commitment to excellence. I encourage you to stay involved and vote on the school district budget on Tuesday, May 15th.

  • Peanut Poll Results Are Peachy
    Contact: Walter Jones, Communications Manager (470) 312-2803 Press Office: (404) 360-9033 Peanut Poll Results Are Peachy (PERRY, Ga.) – Voters in a straw poll conducted at the Georgia National State Fair are feeling peachy about the new voting machines they used in the mock contest. Peaches came out the winner in voting on the favorite Georgia Grown food, followed by pecans, peanuts and blueberries. If nuts and berry supporters were dejected by the results, they could have found comfort in knowing the election was secure, according to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Raffensperger, Georgia’s chief election official, noted that the new voting technology’s paper ballots provide an audit trail to ensure election tallies are accurate in case the second-place candidate – or crop – requests a recount. Georgia conducts recounts when requested by candidates coming within 0.5 percent of the winner. “Paper ballots are the secure way Georgia elections will be handled statewide, starting with next year’s presidential preference primary,” he said. “From now on, no one will feel sour about the integrity of the results.” More than 3,700 ballots were cast by fairgoers who came by the Department of Agriculture’s Georgia Grown pavilion where the touchscreen voting was on display. Peaches topped the balloting for favorite Georgia Grown foods with 1,399 votes, coming next were pecans with 973, peanuts with 703 and blueberries in fourth place with 639. Peaches also racked up 514 votes as the best ice cream flavor. The Secretary of State’s Office annually conducts straw polls at the 10-day fair on topics like foods, ice cream, fair foods and favorite professional teams.
