Equity and Excellence Project
The North Carolina Department of Instruction, Division of Advanced Learning and Gifted Education, has recognized Heidi Bullock and the Transylvania County Schools 2019-2022 local AIG Plan by including the TCS strategies for collection and use of data as a “promising practice” to be included in the state’s Equity and Excellence Critical Action brief. According to Crissy Brown at DPI, “While there are many things we could spotlight about your local AIG plan, one of our parameters was to select only one promising practice from each region. There will be another opportunity to highlight the other wonderful things that are happening in your district as part of your equity and excellence journey.” Great work, Mrs. Bullock!
January is School Board Appreciation Month
January is School Board Recognition Month and a time to recognize the important contributions that school board members make to their communities. Our schools benefit every day from the dedicated energies and countless hours devoted by these hard-working individuals. Their contribution of time and talents toward the advancement of public education should be recognized and celebrated year-round.
MLK Day, National Day of Service
Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebrates the famed civil rights leader’s life and legacy. Observed each year on the third Monday in January as “a day on, not a day off,” MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer. We would like to thank our students, staff, family, friends and neighbors who joined together on January 18th to improve their communities and commemorate Dr. King’s legacy of service.
