In response to recent
school/community meetings focusing on Dropout
Prevention, the Bibb County Board of Education
is exploring various strategies for creating
effective support services for students.
Because research shows that students who have
positive relationships with adults are less
likely to drop out of school, one area of
interest is in developing a school-based
mentor program in conjunction with community
partners. The initial step is to establish a
list of proposed volunteers outside of the
school system who would be willing to serve as
mentors. Any adults who are interested in
serving as mentors or who would like more
information concerning the mentoring program
should contact either:
Dr. Alesa Judd at (205) 926-9881 or by email
at
judda@bibbed.org
Dr. Gwendolyn Valentine at (205) 926-5970 or
by email at
ghvalentine@earthlink.net .
