Below is an open letter to parents, educators and students from Georgia School Superintendent Richard Woods:


Dear Georgia education stakeholders,

I continue to hear questions and concerns about our K-12 standards from parents, educators, and students. Many are concerned about whether the standards are age- and developmentally appropriate, and whether they present a realistic amount of content for teachers to deliver in one year.

Along with Governor Brian Kemp, I am committed to ensuring the best possible standards in our classrooms. Today, the Georgia Department of Education is launching a survey to seek feedback on the Georgia Standards of Excellence for Mathematics and English Language Arts. Click here to complete the mathematics survey and here to complete the ELA survey.
