The Democratic Party of Paulding County (DPPC) invites you to join us for our annual Friends and Family Day Meeting.  We will be awarding prizes for  members who bring the most guests.  Our special guest speaker this month will be a candidate for State School Superintendent:  Dr. Beth Farokhi.  Education is key in the Paulding County school system where our students and schools are performing in the lower percentiles.  We need to hear from candidates who have fresh ideas on how this can be improved.

As always, we will serve a hot delicious spaghetti luncheon and beverage immediately following the meeting for a $5 donation.

The following is from Dr. Farokhi's website. 

Why aren't we providing a safe, academically challenging, and healthy environment where teachers are supported, students are engaged, and the community is strengthened?

The answer to this question lies in the ways that we address or fail to address three major areas: curriculum, teachers, testing.

We should:

•  Create a balanced curriculum for the whole child.

•  Focus on resources and support for teachers.

•  Reduce the number of state-wide tests.
