The Board of Education represents the citizens of Glynn County. To this end, the Board has set goals and expectations, as well as the means to achieve these results. In addition, employees and community stakeholders have submitted their input (see link on the Glynn County Home Page). Annual operational plans are being developed to meet each of the goals. Evidence of meeting each goal is noted as the results will be the means of measuring our progress.
Indicators of the importance placed on each objective by the Board are ranked by the number written inside the parenthesis at the end of each objective. Evidence for objectives ranked as 1-3 will be reported through the Goals and Objectives site. Evidence for objectives ranked 4 or 5 will be reported through the Goals and Objectives site as well as a presentation to the Board of Education (see Board Report Timeline link above).
