mmotes@bullochschools.org Board email: boe@bullochschools.org

School boards are the only elected Special Purpose Local Government in Georgia. Other local elected officials are considered General Purpose Local Government positions. This means, board members represent everyone in the school district, not just their voting district, and they are charged with making sure that students’ needs are first and foremost their top priority. School board members only hold “collective” authority when they meet in an official meeting and act as a board, not when they act as individuals. One board member has no power or authority acting alone.

2024 GEORGIA COLLEGE & CAREER READY PERFORMANCE INDEX

THE

GEORGIA MILESTONES

ASSESSMENT SYSTEM MONITORS STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT

AND GROWTH. Georgia Milestones serves as a key component of the state's accountability system – the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI). The CCRPI features five key indicators: Content mastery, progress, closing learning gaps, readiness and graduation rates. Third through eighth grades take the end-of-grade tests, and ninth through twelfth grades take the end-of-course tests. The tests measure how well students have learned the knowledge and skills within Georgia’s English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies content standards. These are the 2024 CCRPI results. New results are released each October.

READING PROFICIENCY

• 44.8% Students Reading Proficiently in 3rd Grade

• 56.4% Students Reading Proficiently in 5th Grade

• 60.9% Students Reading Proficiently in 8th Grade

Proficiency is reading on or above grade level and above the Lexile midpoint. Studies show that children who are not reading on grade level by the end of 2nd grade are likely to stay behind grade level through 5th grade. This severely limits their ability to read for content and comprehension across all subjects.

GEORGIA SUPPORT & IMPROVEMENT SCHOOLS

In 2025, no schools in the Bulloch County School System were added to Georgia’s lists of Comprehensive or Targeted Support Schools. However, Langston Chapel Elementary School and Stilson Elementary School remain on the state’s Additional Targeted Support and Improvement List (ATSI) since being identified in 2024. This status will continue for three years, until 2026, when the state will re-evaluate the schools for possible removal. Both schools received the ATSI designation based on the performance of their students with disabilities in grades 3–5 on the Spring 2023 Georgia Milestones Assessment System. This subgroup’s performance ranked among the lowest 5% statewide, as measured by the College and Career Ready Performance Index (CCRPI) indicators, including content mastery, progress, readiness, and closing achievement gaps. Both schools continue to benefit from targeted, data-driven support provided by the district and the Georgia Department of Education. These efforts aim to improve academic outcomes and address the needs of the identified student subgroups.

COLLEGE & CAREER PROGRAM

Bulloch County Schools’ College and Career Program partners with the community to work together and align our efforts in order to do the following:

• Build a workforce that provides for the needs of our local and regional industries and businesses.

• Provide sustainable employment for our citizens.

• Contribute to the stability and growth of the local economy

• Promote the betterment of our community as a whole

The College & Career Academy Program comprises work-based learning, dual enrollment, 35 Career Technical & Agricultural Education career pathways, student technical organizations, career discovery events for fifth through twelfth grades, career assessment resources, and guidance support for students. Our foundation rests on three pillars: helping students become Enrolled in college, Enlisted in the military, or Employed in local or regional industries — or pursue any combination of the three.

Bulloch County Schools has been designated by the Georgia Department of Education, the Georgia Economic Developers Association, and Georgia Power Corporation as a Georgia Economic Development Partnership school district due to its collaboration with Bulloch County's leading economic development partners and its continued work to position itself to best benefit the work and career readiness needs of its students.

STUDENT TECHNICAL ORGANIZATIONS THRIVE

This year 27 of Bulloch County Schools’ students qualified to compete in national competitions within their student technical organizations. The school district’s College & Career Program includes six student technical organizations which are linked to the district’s 35 Career Technical & Agricultural Education career pathways, and they help students become uniquely prepared to be enrolled, enlisted, or employed after high school. Students have the opportunity to compete in leadership and skills competitions at the area level to possibly advance to state and nationals. To help sponsor the cost of traveling to national competition, Bulloch County Schools’ CTAE program provides each participating competitor a $600 scholarship. Faculty advisors also arrange multiple fundraising opportunities and solicit sponsorships from business and industry partners. Learn more about the national qualifiers at bullochschools.org/careers.

FIRST 20 STUDENTS EARN INDUSTRY CERTIFICATION IN HEAVY EQUIPMENT OPERATIONS

NEW CAREER PATHWAY ACHIEVES TRAINING MILESTONE

The first 20 high school students have successfully earned an industry certification in Heavy Equipment Operations, a major milestone for Bulloch County Schools’ newest career pathway. The students completed a hands-on certification experience where they operated real excavators under the guidance of Reeves Construction experts. All participating students earned their Certificate of Field Capstone Project for Excavator, signaling a strong start and effective design of this new workforce-driven career pathway which prepares students for high-demand careers in construction and skilled trades.

To launch the new career pathway, Bulloch County Schools was awarded a $324,000 grant to purchase four heavy equipment simulators. The program also received a $45,200 Workforce Georgia Grant from the Georgia Power Foundation and the Georgia Foundation for Public Education. These funds enabled the purchase of industry-grade equipment and provided OSHA 10 certifications to students, further enhancing their readiness for the workforce.

FIRST SCHOOL-BASED HEALTH CENTER TO OPEN IN BULLOCH COUNTY

SCHOOL DISTRICT PARTNERS WITH EAST GA HEALTHCARE CENTER

Bulloch County Schools has partnered with East Georgia Healthcare Center to open the school district’s first school-based health center in fall 2025. It will offer comprehensive medical care and counseling care to students and staff at Langston Chapel Elementary and Langston Chapel Middle School. Funded by a $1 million grant from the Georgia Department of Education, the goal is to help remove the multiple barriers that families experience with receiving quality healthcare and to help lessen disruptions to their children’s education. These schools were selected because they have the school district’s highest number of students who are in foster care, Medicaid eligible, or experiencing housing insecurity or homelessness.

PORTAL MIDDLE HIGH OPENS NEW TRACK & FIELD COMPLEX

VOTER-SUPPORTED E-SPLOST FUNDS NEW FACILITY FOR STUDENTS

Portal Middle High School opened its new $4.6 million track and field complex on April 16, 2025. “This track is not just lanes and lines; It is a legacy for the future,” said Principal Julie Blackmar, Ed.D. This is the first time in school history that Portal has had a dedicated track and field facility. “This track is and will be a great resource for our students,” said Justin Chester, Portal’s athletic director and assistant principal. The complex was funded by revenues from Bulloch County Schools’ fourth Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (E-SPLOST IV), which was renewed by registered voters in November 2017. James W. Buckley & Associates led the project’s design phase, and construction began in May 2023, led by Pope Construction.

Bulloch County children facing food insecurity in Fiscal Year 2025

380 children were identified as homeless during the 2024-2025 school year based on the federal government's McKinney Vento Act definition of lacking a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence.

72.1% of students were identified as economically disadvantaged.

“As we work to incorporate more locally produced items into our menus, it's essential to take advantage of the fact that these farms are right here in our own backyard. The connections we make with our farmers and the dedication we put into our work allow us to truly own the responsibility of providing healthy, delicious meals to our students.”

SCHOOL DISTRICT CONTINUES TO ADD LOCALLY-SOURCED FOOD TO ITS MENUS

Bulloch County School Nutrition continues to partner with local farmers to help build a culinary culture in the school district's cafeterias. Partnering with local farms is more than just a nutritional initiative—it’s a learning opportunity, connecting students with the origins of their food and fostering an appreciation for healthy eating. Students see firsthand that their meals come from real, local farms and that healthy eating doesn’t mean sacrificing flavor. School cafeterias want to help children create lifelong healthy eating habits and offer them the chance to experience flavors that are both seasonal and beneficial. Thank you to these local and area farms for partnering with the school district to bring their products to our students: Hunter Cattle Company, Franklin's Farm, Mack Family Farm, Sweet Georgia Fuyu Persimmons Farm, and Nine Twenty Farm.

BULLOCH WINS STATE FARM TO SCHOOL AWARD

Bulloch County School Nutrition received a Farm to School Award from the Georgia Department of Education’s School Nutrition Agency for its farm to school efforts. The award was presented at the Annual Director's Conference by the state director, Linette Dodson and State School Superintendent Richard Woods. This is the first time Bulloch County Schools has received this award.

DIGITAL MENUS MAKE MEAL PLANNING EASIER FOR FAMILIES

Bulloch County Schools has officially launched a new digital menu tool called Mealviewer. It makes school meal planning easier and more accessible for families. The mobilefriendly platform provides real-time school menu information by school, nutritional and caloric data for food items, and improved accessibility features. Key benefits are improved accessibility, language translation, nutritional and allergen information, personalized allergy alerts, real-time menu updates, convenient mobile application, and integration with the My School Bucks meal payment application.
