Today marked the very first meeting of the 2025 Superintendent’s Student Advisory Council!
We are so excited to welcome student leaders from across grade levels who will share their voices and perspectives to help shape the future of Dalton Public Schools.
In today’s session, students met with Superintendent Dr. Craft and Associate Superintendent of Student Services Dr. Shaw and explored positive ways Dalton Public Schools GA can implement the new Distraction-Free Personal Device State Law. Their ideas will help us focus on opportunities to enhance learning and keep students engaged in the classroom.
This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to see the incredible ideas this group will share throughout the year!
