7/30 GECC Back to School Convening
As schools prepare for a new academic year, the Georgia Education Climate Coalition (GECC) invites you to join us on Thursday, July 30 in the Hall County School District for a conversation about building positive school climates and supporting student well-being.
This year’s back-to-school convening will feature:
- A presentation from Suzanne Jarrard, Hall County Assistant Superintendent for Teaching and Learning, on the district’s journey toward becoming “The Most Caring Place on Earth” and lessons learned from implementing school climate and mental health awareness efforts across a large school district
- A presentation from Dr. Garry McGiboney connecting Hall County’s work to the mental health awareness training being implemented in schools across the state this summer
- Opportunities for networking and discussion with education, behavioral health, and community partners
Whether you work in education, behavioral health, youth-serving organizations, government, or community advocacy, this convening offers an opportunity to learn from one of Georgia’s leading examples of school climate improvement and student support.
Georgia Appleseed attorneys are also offering a special education clinic for parents and caregivers prior to the meeting. Please reach out to Jack Grote at jgrote@gaappleseed.org if you are interested.
