We want to highlight these districts and schools for their achievement in the percentage of students proficient or above in math on the Georgia Milestones. They should be proud of their hard work. Keep it up!

Great opportunity for parents and educators to advance their advocacy skills in a community of other changemakers. I'm clearly biased, but the participant reviews of this fellowship are off the charts. "Advocacy can be lonely and so this community has been essential."

Congratulations to cohort 4 FIRE fellows for recently completing their fellowship! Made up of parents from across the country, this class of fellows spent the past several months learning new ways to raise their voices on behalf of students, and to bring those new skills back to their own communities to transform education.

Six years ago, we launched the Parent Fellowship to build a new generation of education advocates in Georgia. Since then, fellows have passed legislation, opened charter schools, and pushed school boards to listen. We're excited to welcome our newest cohort of parent leaders.
