The Pickens County School District held a public hearing regarding its application and contract to become a Strategic Waivers School System (SWSS), one of the reform options available for Georgia’s K-12 public school systems. The hearing is being held to seek public comments.

The SWSS model (formerly known as Investing in Educational Excellence, IE²) was chosen as the reform option for the Pickens County School District. This model allows for flexibility and yet preserves and promotes high quality academic achievement, student success, and visionary leadership.

The Pickens County School District invites the public to be part of this community input hearing as it prepares to submit this important partnership application and contract to the Georgia Department of Education and the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement.

Immediately following the hearing, the board held a called meeting on the Pickens County School District’s Strategic Waivers School System (SWSS) Application and Contract.
