The Clarke County Public Schools School Board meeting on September 22, 2025, focused on significant educational challenges and the approval of a new Family Life Education (FLE) curriculum.

During the meeting, administrators expressed concerns about the potential impact of upcoming educational policies on student performance. It was noted that if certain changes were implemented, projected scores for reading could drop from 75.87 to 39.32, and math scores from 72.90 to 39.33. School officials emphasized their commitment to supporting every student and mitigating these impacts as much as possible.

The board also discussed the FLE curriculum, which is currently under consideration for approval. Members were presented with three options: to approve the curriculum, reject it, or table the decision for further discussion next month. One board member highlighted the importance of gathering more feedback from the community, noting that previous input had come from a limited number of individuals. They advocated for increased public awareness and transparency regarding the curriculum changes.

The meeting underscored the board's dedication to addressing educational challenges while ensuring community involvement in decision-making processes. Further discussions and potential actions regarding the FLE curriculum are expected in the coming month.
