Community Engagement

Dr. Donna O’Neal, center, leads a Community Engagement session recently in Paulding County. Community leaders from a variety of perspectives come together to devise a plan that will ultimately improve the local education system.

The Georgia Partnership’s Community Engagement program began in 2005 as an offshoot of the very successful Economics of Education presentation. Seventy-five community leaders in Elbert County invited the organization to help them create a community-wide effort at improving their public education system. Troup, Butts, Bulloch, Paulding, Tattnal, Emanuel, and Forsyth Counties as well as Marietta and Calhoun City systems have since requested the Partnership’s help.

For details, check the The How To's of Community Planning brochure.
