Loading...
Summary
At its March 31 meeting the Griffin-Spalding County Board of Education voted 5–0 to approve Doctor Warren’s recommendations appointing Teresa Lubin as principal of Cowen Road Middle School and Doctor Rodney McBride as principal of Spalding High School.
The Griffin-Spalding County Board of Education voted 5–0 on March 31 to approve two principal appointments recommended by Doctor Warren.
Doctor Warren recommended "Miss Teresa Lubin" for the Cowen Road Middle School principalship, saying, "She brings tons of administrative experience...22 years to be exact," and noting her recent service as an assistant principal and prior principal experience in South Georgia and long previous service in Griffin-Spalding. Doctor Warren described Lubin’s background as including assistant-principal roles and school-based instructional leadership positions.
Doctor Warren also recommended Doctor Rodney McBride for Spalding High School, saying he "has over 15 years experience as a principal, including 8 at the high school level," and that at his previous school he "was able to increase the CCRPI 9 points in 1 year," "raised graduation rate to 91," and "secured a $3,100,000 grant to establish a college of Career Academy." The board member who moved the Spalding High nomination noted McBride is "already in the community" and mentioned his role as pastor of Trinity CME Church.
A Committee member moved to accept Lubin’s appointment for Cowen Road Middle and the Chair seconded; the board approved 5–0. The same vote count followed the McBride motion and second. Earlier in the meeting the board had also approved its consent agenda by a 5–0 vote.
The appointments take effect under the board’s normal administrative process; no additional implementation timeline was recorded in the public proceedings. The board moved immediately afterward to enter executive session to discuss personnel matters.
Transcript inconsistencies: the public transcript uses multiple spellings for some names and school names (examples: "Cowen/Conroe/Calhoun Road Middle School" and variants of Lubin's last name). The article uses the names as stated in the transcript (Teresa Lubin; Doctor Rodney McBride) and flags those inconsistencies for record and district confirmation.
