Dr. Edwards Named Finalist for Superintendent of the Year

From City Schools of Decatur website:

The Georgia School Superintendents Association says four candidates remain for the 2015 Superintendent of the Year competition, including Dr. Phyllis Edwards of City Schools of Decatur.

“This is a tremendous honor to be named a finalist and I sincerely thank the Board of Education for nominating me,” said Edwards. “Beginning my twelfth year as Superintendent of Schools in City Schools of Decatur, I can say that it has been a joy to lead this system of caring and dedicated teachers and staff!”

The other finalists are Dr. Philip Lanoue of Clarke County, Dr. Curtis Jones of Spalding County, and Dr. Randy Shearouse of Effingham County.

The superintendents association says all of the candidates have been working on special things in their respective school systems.

The group received nearly 30 nominations for the selection committee to review and discuss. The selection committee is made up of past Georgia Superintendents of the Year that are still active in their profession.

Edwards and the other finalists will now apply to become the Georgia Superintendent of the Year to be announced at the Georgia School Superintendents Association/Georgia School Boards Association conference in December.
