Lisa Nelson has been select
ed as our 
4th Grade Parent Representative to the 
Local School Governance Team  

Floyd County Schools is a Georgia Charter System.  A key element to charter is moving decision making closer to where the learning takes place.  That means leaving decisions to the individual school systems and to the schools within that system.  It also mean involving more people in the decision making process - involving parents and community leaders in school decisions. 

PES is proud to announce that Lisa Nelson has been selected as our 4th Grade Parent Representative.  Lisa has served on both Midway Primary and Pepperell Middle School's LSGT.  Our first meeting will be Thursday, September 27th, at 7:30 am
