Georgia Superintendent Newsletter Guide

Georgia superintendents lead districts across one of the country's most rapidly growing states, with communities that range from Atlanta's dense suburban corridors to south Georgia's small agricultural towns. In every context, families deserve clear, honest information about what their district is doing and producing.

Communicate Georgia Milestones results with context

The Georgia Milestones Assessment System provides the primary annual measure of student academic performance. Superintendent newsletters that report Milestones results with year-over-year comparison, subgroup performance, and a description of the district's response, build community confidence in the district's transparency.

Explain the CCRPI accountability system

Georgia's College and Career Ready Performance Index measures school quality on multiple factors. When CCRPI results are released, superintendent newsletters that explain the system and report honestly on district performance, give families the context to interpret the data rather than relying solely on external media coverage.

Communicate about Georgia Pre-K programs

Georgia's Pre-K program is a significant community asset. Superintendent newsletters that describe how to access Pre-K, what the lottery process involves, and what pre-kindergarten readiness outcomes the program produces, help families take advantage of one of Georgia's most valuable education investments.

Address the QBE funding formula clearly

Georgia's Quality Basic Education formula governs how state funding flows to districts. When state budget changes affect the formula, superintendent newsletters that explain the connection between state decisions and local program impacts, build community understanding of the factors that shape district resources.

Reflect Georgia's community diversity

Georgia's districts serve communities with very different characters, from international suburbs to historically black rural communities to mountain communities with deep Appalachian heritage. Superintendent communication that reflects and respects the specific community it serves builds deeper trust than generic institutional language.

Our CCRPI report will be published by the state this fall; I will communicate those results directly to every family as soon as they are available.
