Thomaston-Upson BOE Recognition

1. The GA School Nutrition Association selected Thomaston-Upson School Nutrition as the November District of the Month. GA School Nutrition cited several impressive initiatives that our School Nutrition program has helped to implement within our schools that are having a positive impact on our students and helping to elevate school nutrition in Georgia. Congratulations to Mrs. Karen Puckett, Mrs. Rachel Ash, and all of our school nutrition personnel.

2. Congratulations to the Upson-Lee Middle School and Upson-Lee High School band, chorus, and drama students and their directors for providing our schools and community with wonderful holiday performances over the past few weeks. We have such talented students in our fine arts programs, and it is great to see those students performing on stage at the Upson-Lee Fine Arts Center.

 

3. I want to say a big thank you to our students and staff for their kindness and commitment to serving our community, especially during the holidays. This year, the Thomaston-Upson School System collected 6,877 nonperishable food items for The Empty Stocking Fund. School totals were: ULPK 446 food items; ULPS 1668; ULES 3456; ULMS 672; and ULHS 635. TU staff and students collected more than 250 toys, raised more than four thousand dollars and sponsored 27 families within our community. In addition, our TU School Nutrition Department’s annual Christmas service project is the Heritage Women’s Center. That project will end on Thursday, so we don’t have the totals yet; but it is obvious that the outpouring of generosity from our staff and students is just incredible!

 

Recognition of the TU Board of Education:

 

1. At the December Georgia School Boards Association (GSBA) Conference, the Thomaston-Upson Board of Education received the Leading Edge Award. This award recognizes the district’s excellence in the category of Culture, Climate & Organizational Efficacy for developing "safe, orderly, supportive learning environments built on respect and encouragement where all individuals believe they can make a positive difference.” The nomination for the Leading Edge Award highlighted the Thomaston-Upson Safety & Security Program, which allows staff, students, and the greater community to invest in the safety of the school district. This program provides staff and students with the resources, knowledge, and training necessary to respond to all emergency situations. The T-U Safety and Security Program is a multi-dimensional program that includes the following initiatives: technology; facility and construction; awareness; preparedness and prevention; behavioral & emotional health and wellness; and community partnerships. Congratulations to the Thomaston-Upson Board of Education for this outstanding recognition.

 

2. In addition to the Leading Edge Award, the Thomaston-Upson Board of Education was recognized as a 2023 Exemplary Board. Exemplary Board status is the highest level in

 

board governance within the state of Georgia. The GA School Boards Association (GSBA) developed this board recognition program to reflect the state standards, which offer school boards additional ways to increase their effectiveness. The State Board of Education developed the state standards for governance that form the foundation for GSBA’s awards and recognition program. The GSBA Board Recognition Program requires a high level of commitment from school boards and individual members. The ultimate goal is to provide a platform based on governance standards, which challenges boards, but creates a culture of success for students and communities. The Thomaston-Upson Board of Education was one of the original few to achieve this distinction when the recognition program was initiated and has continued to maintain this distinction year after year. Congratulation Thomaston-Upson Board of Education!

 

3. I have one final recognition from the December GSBA conference. The GSBA Service Award highlights school board members’ dedication and service to the community, and I want to congratulate Ms. Jacqueline Hollis for receiving the GSBA Service Award pin for 35 years of service to the Thomaston-Upson County School System. This alone is quite an accomplishment, but I want to add that during her 35 years of service, we think Ms. Hollis has only missed 1 regular monthly Board of Education meeting. Congratulations and thank you for your service, Ms. Hollis!

DA Marie Broder Press Release

On December 6, 2023, Gregory Ryan Edge, a former member of the Pike County Board of Education, entered a non-negotiated plea to twenty-four (24) counts of Theft by Taking by a Fiduciary.  It was alleged that Edge, the Vice President and Senior Regional Manager of the Southern Credit Union, used his position of trust in order to steal money from friends and customers. The matter was investigated by Georgia Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Adam Thompson, who discovered that between 2013 and 2019, Edge stole over $40,000 from bank customers. 

During the sentencing hearing before the Honorable Chief Judge W. Fletcher Sams, Edge’s attorney pointed to his lack of criminal history, his remorse, and good deeds he has done in the community to mitigate his sentence. Edge addressed the Court, his family, and his victims when he expressed his remorse over his actions. Assistant District Attorney Adelle Petersen argued that Edge preyed upon people who trusted him, and his behavior merited a prison sentence. Edge was sentenced by the Court to 20 years, with the first three to be served in prison and the balance on probation. He is required to surrender himself to the Spalding County Sheriff on January 3, 2024, to begin his prison sentence.
