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.
