The final candidates’ list for the November general election has been posted. Go to www.georgiapta.org Capitol Watch. The Senate list reflects the outcome of the special primary on August 26 in Dist 13 to replace Joseph Carter who chose to run for a judgeship. Also posted is a story found on the web site of the Georgia Association of Education Leaders, GAEL, www.gael.org. It was written by Debra White, a former superintendent, who is also the Executive Director of the GA Association of Curriculum and Instructional Leaders, GACIS. The story is about the new method for calculating high school graduation rates expected to be implemented in Georgia for the Class of 2009. The 2008 graduation rate, not yet including summer school graduates, is 74.4%, up from 72.3% in 2007.–

There are two sample copies of SPLOST articles below: one Abby Shiffman and I worked on for the East Cobber that is general to Cobb County and one that schools can customize if they want with school specific information. Either can be used in newsletters or e-newsletters. Please distribute to your LUs. These are articles that can go in newsletters that go home on school buses. They are information articles not promotional articles. Thanks,
