Burke County Public School
system was recently recog
nized for its “strong and per
vasive positive culture built
on a shared set of values and
beliefs, a clear and consistent
curriculum with an intentional
focus on literacy, and a system-
wide response to the pandemic
despite the challenges associ
ated with a large county.”
During a BCPS Accredita
tion Engagement Review on
October 25-27, a Cognia En
gagement Review Team made
DAVE WILLIAMS
Capitol Beat News Service
Southern Company, the par
ent of Georgia Power, is dou
bling down on its commitment
to reduce its reliance on coal.
The nation’s third largest
utility has announced plans to
close most of its coal-burning
units at Plant Scherer, Plant
Bowen, and Plant Wansley in
Georgia as well as coal units
at two Southern plants in Ala
bama.
The closures, which will oc
cur by 2028, will help Southern
move toward its long-term goal
of achieving net-zero green
house gas emissions by 2050,
Southern CEO Tom Fanning
told Wall Street analysts during
an earnings call.
The plant closings Fanning
outlined Thursday, combined
with the recent retirement of
two coal plants in Mississippi,
will mean a reduction in South
ern’s coal generating capacity
from more than 20,000 mega
watts of electricity across near
ly 70 generating units in 2007
to fewer than 4,500 megawatts
of capacity remaining at just
eight generating units.
Environmental groups have
pushed for years for utilities
to move away from using coal
in power generation toward
solar power and other sources
of renewable energy.
“After years of pressure from
grassroots organizations, clean
energy advocates, and con
cerned community members,
Southern Company has finally
decided to take a step in the
right direction and close down
some of the dirtiest power
plants in its fleet,” David Rog
ers, Southeast deputy regional
director for the Sierra Club’s
the observations.
Cognia, formerly Ad-
vancED, is a non-profit, non
governmental organization
that accredits primary and
secondary schools and systems
throughout the United States
and internationally. Using
their research-based analysis,
engagement review teams are
able to help school districts
identify areas of strength and
potential growth in three over
arching domains- Leadership
Capacity, Learning Capacity,
and Resource Capacity.
Additionally, the team noted
areas of potential growth,
Beyond Coal Campaign, said
Friday. “Southern Company
deserves credit for making this
decision.”
But Rogers said more work
needs to be done. For one
thing, Southern plans to con
tinue operating Plant Miller in
Alabama, the largest carbon
polluter in the nation.
Rogers also called on South
ern to work with affected com
munities to help coal plant
workers transition to other
jobs.
“We need to make sure com
munities are given the re
sources to thrive through this
transition, rather than be left
behind,” he said. “Addition
ally, legacy pollution from
these coal plants, like coal ash,
must be cleaned up properly to
including the use of data to
leverage improvement along
with systematic and systemic
processes for all programs
and services with common
protocols and procedures and
formalized evaluation and
monitoring. “This informa
tion will be vital for BCPS
as we strive for continuous
improvement in support of our
students, families and commu
nity,” according to Dr. Wayne
Hickman, Executive Director
of Operations for BCPS..
The official report is expect
ed to be available to the district
within 30-45 business days.
protect the health of communi
ties nearby.”
Fanning said the exact tim
ing of the planned coal plant
closings in Georgia will be
subject to approval by the state
Public Service Commission in
its review of Georgia Power’s
next Integrated Resource Plan
(IRP).
The utility files a new IRP
every three years outlining the
mix of power sources it will
rely on to generate electricity
for the next two decades. The
next IRP is due to be submit
ted to the commission early
next year.
