plan.
If there is to be school renewal
rather than education gridlock, the
governor, stale school superinten
dent. legislators, school boars
members, educators, parents and cit
izens must converge in the weeks
ahead to develop a comprehensive
plan of school improvement op
tions and support local schools and
school systems in realistic imple
mentation of the options. Education
gridlock is not a realistic choice for
Georgia today. The stakes are too
high, each day, 1,300,000 students
are dependent on our decisions.
