Gwinnett County Parent Added To GA Parent Advisory Council

GWINNETT COUnTY, GA — A Gwinnett County parent has been added to State School Superintendent Richard Woods Parent Advisory Council, according to a news release.

Pamela Bloch is one of 15 new members on Wood’s Parent Advisory Council. As members of the Council, parents meet with Superintendent Woods to give their input on family and community engagement activities and policies under consideration at the state level.

“We can only truly do our jobs as educators in partnership with parents and families,” Woods said in a news release. “When schools and families work in true partnership – not always agreeing, but in open conversation and in pursuit of the same goal – our children can succeed at new levels. As my team and I make decisions that impact children and their families, the feedback of the Parent Advisory Council is indispensable.”

A total of 30 Georgia parents are members of the superintendent’s Parent Advisory Council. They are nominated by their local school systems, including state charter schools. Once selected, members serve a two-year term on the Council.
