#GreatThingsAreHappeningInJCPS
The 2023-2024 JCPS Student Leaders met with Board members, Superintendent Bracy, and cabinet members this morning for their final meeting of the year. This group of young leaders shared strategies, insight, and perspectives that will benefit JCPS for years to come.
The conversation pieces included: the overall benefits of extracurricular activities, sports programs, and clubs, school safety, dress code, career paths, curriculum, school environment, and much more. These leaders have bright futures ahead of them.
We wish you the best of luck moving forward!

Please plan to join us on Monday, March 18th, from 6:00-7:15 pm at Swift Creek Middle School to learn how we have incorporated community feedback and weigh in on our progress thus far.
