Meet the Team: Rome City Schools Superintendent Advisory Council
When Dr. Holland came on board as Superintendent of Rome City Schools in September of 2022, he recognized the importance and wanted to continue the legacy of the Rome City Schools Superintendent Advisory Council.
The Council is a group of highly-qualified educators serving as the voice for teachers and staff in the district’s decision-making process. Council members are selected through nomination and election. It consists of 10 members, including teachers, staff, and the district Teacher of the Year.
The Council provides a forum to engage in monthly collaborative discussions with the superintendent on issues relating to rigorous diverse academic experiences, student support services, school climate, culture, discipline, career opportunities, and other factors that impact the Rome City Schools system.
Superintendent Advisory Council members share ideas, suggestions, and questions from their peers and are ready to work with the Superintendent and Central Office staff on meaningful solutions.
The meetings are held monthly at the Central Office.
During their term, members not only attend Council meetings, but also recruitment events. They serve as RCS Ambassadors in the community and for their schools.
Rome City Schools is honored to have a Superintendent Advisory Council with outstanding members who are committed to working together to bring to fruition the mission and vision of Rome City Schools.
In honor of Black History Month, Rome City Schools would like to recognize African Americans in our community who have paved the way for the next generation.
