Education and legislation often go hand in hand, especially with public schools. Legislators are often under-informed or misinformed about the real issues in the classroom and how laws and priorities directly affect students and teachers.
Cobb Schools has been proactive with what happens "under the dome" in Atlanta, and Gretchen Walton is vital to Cobb's involvement with public education legislation.
Ms. Walton is David's guest on today's episode and is the Director of Cobb Schools' Compliance and Legislative Affairs Office. She helps to ensure compliance with federal and state mandates and procedures while working with staff and community members to advocate for the legislative interests of the school board.
