Public hearing on Common Core to be conducted at Northside High | Education | Columbus Ledger Enquirer

If you have something to say about the state’s public education system, especially the controversial Common Core, and don’t want to schlep to Atlanta to speak to the Georgia Board of Education, then you might want to take advantage of a local opportunity next week.

Each of the state school board’s 14 members has scheduled a public hearing for their congressional district.

Helen Rice, the board’s representative for the 3rd Congressional District, which comprises part of Columbus, will host Monday’s public hearing, starting at 7 p.m., in the Northside High School auditorium, 2002 American Way.

The public hearing for the 2nd Congressional District, which also comprises part of Columbus, will be conducted Sept. 4, starting at 7 p.m., in Crisp County Middle School, 1116 E. 24th Ave., Cordele. That board seat is vacant, so former board member Wanda Barrs will be the host.
