Superintendent (Dr. Stokes) unveiled "GCSC Knowledge Seekers," a community-education initiative that will run two eight-month cohorts (midday and evening) to help residents understand school finance, governance, academic priorities, operations, human resources and special-population services.

The program will be limited to 30 participants per cycle (15 per cohort). The superintendent described the initiative as informational and educational, with some opportunity for participants to offer ideas and feedback. Applications are available on the district website and the deadline for the initial cohort is Friday, April 3, 2026, at 5 p.m.; cohort participants will be selected by the superintendent and the district’s leadership team.

District communications staff said the district will promote the initiative through social media, e-blasts, robocalls and a press release. The program aims to build a more informed base of community advocates who can share the district’s operations and constraints with their networks.
