Well, it’s the season for - Open Enrollment. That’s right - it’s time for 8th graders to select their high schools; and it’s also time for students in other grades to consider magnet programs and speciality schools throughout the district. To assist us in this conversation, we’ve invited Rhonda Heard Bigham, District Advisor for Counseling and Open Enrollment, Katrina Taylor, Innovation Impact Coordinator, and Heather Denham, Professional School Counselor at Rose Hill Pre-K Schools.

This week we will visit with Tiffany Spight, Chief Academic Officer for the Jackson Madison County Schools. We’ll discuss her journey through the field of education and talk about her efforts at the district office. We’ll also provide our stakeholders with an update on where we are as a district concerning the state’s 3rd grade retention law.
