BURKE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
A MESSAGE FROM SUPERINTENDENT RUDOLPH "RUDY" FALANA
Here we are nearing the end of July already and a number of Burke County Public Schools’
staff members are spending part of it getting ready for the 2016-17 school year.
I want to welcome employees, parents, students, and community into the new school year. It is
through our team efforts that our students and our school system are able to excel in various areas.
Your spirit of collaboration is both needed and appreciated, and I look forward to expanding that
collaboration. We have highly qualified, highly effective staff dedicated to serving our students.
Among them is a host of new staff, and we’re excited about the knowledge, skills, experience,
and expertise coming with them.
Our vision continues to be one of high standards, outstanding performance, and excellence in
student achievement. We will continue to be transparent as we build on previous successes as
well as address our challenges. We have made some administrative changes that will prove to be
in the best interest of everyone involved.
As always, we appreciate your feedback, and look forward to a great year.
