City of Conyers launches exciting essay contest for students

The regular session of the board convened at 7:43 PM, with no visitors present. The meeting transitioned to updates from the executive cabinet, led by Doctor Oates. Following this, Doctor McCray McRae was represented by Shirley, who presented an action item regarding a partnership with the City of Conyers.

The proposed partnership aims to facilitate the second annual community essay contest for 12th graders, designed to enhance their English language arts skills. The contest will run from November 4 to December 20, with a prompt encouraging participants to promote tourism in Conyers, Georgia. The City of Conyers will award a total of $1,000 in monetary prizes to the three finalists.

The board's approval is required to finalize a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the school system and the City of Conyers, which is expected to have no financial impact on the school system. The initiative underscores the collaboration between local government and educational institutions to foster student engagement and community involvement.
