Superintendent Joylynn Wilson Pruitt gave
parents a status report on district activities,
ranging from school renovations to the status of
the district accreditation. This was the second of
two Conversations with the Superintendent this
academic year.
“We are making an avid commitment to start each
presentation on something positive, and share
with you the good, the bad, and the ugly, and try
to end again on a positive note.”
Pruitt noted that the district is fully accredited.
“Right now the district has 7 points. We have 7 of
14, we are still fully accredited. If our review were
right now, we would be provisional.”
She also mentioned that the district has two
finalists in the 2011 Merit Scholar Program, and
two students that were named "Outstanding
Participants" by the 2011 National Achievement
Scholarship Program.
There are five goals that are outlined in the
Comprehensive School Improvement Plan thatthe District reports to the state on monthly Pruitt
said. They are academic achievement; highly
qualified staff; facilities, support, and instructional resources; parent and community involvement; and
governance and administration. On each of these goals, Pruitt outlined progress and initiatives the
District was working on.
As part of the Centennial Year celebration, Pruitt mentioned that there will be a Community Schools
Fair at Brittany Woods on April 29, from 6:00pm to 9:00pm. On April 30, the Barbara C. Jordan

Myra, there's one correction to your article about the superintendent, she did not say the two students
that participated in the National Achievement test were finalists. They were simply in her words
"Outstanding Students" but in reality that is noe an official classification. I can understand wanting to
present a beautiful picture after the negative one that is being presented. You tread on thin ice when you
try too hard because a pig in a dress is still a pig.
