School Counselors in the Fayette County School System are active members of the Fayette School Counselor Association (FSCA) which serves to advance the profession of school counseling and also provides opportunities for professional development.

The organization promotes an improved understanding and appreciation of guidance and counseling services in the school setting. In addition, the FSCA recognizes the need to enhance a spirit of unity, cooperation, suppport and fellowship among counselors and the community.

It is important to raise the awareness of the community at large about the important role of the school counselor in the multi-diciplinary approach used to support the healthy person, social and academic growth of our students.

BOE Candidate Sam Tolbert to Speak to Fayette Republicans Oct 2nd

Fayette County Board of Education Post 5 candidate Sam Tolbert will be speaking at the Fayette County Republican Party First Saturday Breakfast at the Fayetteville IHOP at 9am on Saturday, October 2nd. 

Tolbert is a semi-retired senior manager who is currently an adjunct professor of mathematics at Gordon College in Barnesville. He decided to run for the school board position in part because of concerns about the school system’s financial shape. Tolbert says his background as a senior manager with “having to mind a budget and be fiscally responsible for expenditures and controls” would be an asset to the school board.  He plans to look at the financials and try to understand exactly what is required, what is coming in, and whether we are able to meet a reasonable budget that grows as the county grows.

Tolbert, who is a Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering Management with a minor in Business Finance, is skilled in project management, project engineering, quality assurance, organizational excellance, small business management, and communication.  He would also like to look at new programs that can be offered to help students, whether by allowing them to start college earlier or adding technical education earlier on “as opposed to just going and spinning their wheels in high school courses.” 

Tolbert will face Democratic candidate Dr. Laura Burgess in November’s general election.  All interested Republicans are invited to attend.
