The Muscogee County School District has hosted a national Sacs Accreditation Team all week. I am proud to announce that MCSD has been accredited for another five years. Other than that good news, I wanted to let you know that our PIE organization was the SACS team’s first commendation. They really sung the praises of our PIE organization and stated that it was a collaboration that MCSD should be proud of because it’s not happening elsewhere. Keep up the good work and thanks to the Chamber for all that you do to support public education. Thanks!

At a recent Clubview Elementary open house, nearly every student accomplishment or activity the PTA president highlighted was introduced with the phrase: “Thanks to our Partner in Education, Columbus Regional Healthcare System.” Across town, South Columbus Elementary’s Partner in Education, CB&T, is credited with giving one teacher the incentive to keep investing in the school. And outside the Muscogee County School District, students at McBride Elementary get extra comfort when their parents are deployed and learn valuable leadership skills thanks to their partners the 192d Infantry Brigade.
The Partners in Education program was started in 1987 as a joint venture of the Muscogee County School District and the Greater Columbus Georgia Chamber of Commerce. According to Janeen Tucker at the Chamber, the program’s purpose is to improve education by stimulating meaningful business and community involvement in schools. As executive vice president of human resources and management information systems, Tucker oversees Education and Workforce Development at the Chamber, which in turn oversees the PIE program.
