DEL.ICIO.USDoes PTC need an education commission?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
When it comes to education, Peachtree City does not have a unified voice. Cele Eifert, a Peachtree City resident and longtime school volunteer, wants to change that.
Eifert, who is scheduled to speak at the City Council meeting tonight, wants to form a Peachtree City Commission on Education. This volunteer board would monitor education issues, advise the mayor and council and make recommendations.
“The City is lacking an official body that focuses solely on the educational requirements and concerns of its citizens,” Eifert says. “Consequently, when issues and/or dealings arise in the city that involve education, that component may only get cursory attention or perhaps be overlooked, disregarded or mischaracterized.”
Eifert said it’s possible the commission would consider the full range of issues — from early childhood education through vocational/technical training and even higher education. The commission would serve as a liaison between the city and the Fayette County Board of Education.
Do you think Peachtree City needs an education commission? If so, what would do you think its responsibilities should be?

It is just one more step in the PTC seperatist attitude in Fayette County. Nothing is good enough, PTC oriented enough and more. PTC needs to be there own little world and then let the PTC residents pay for all this rather than all the rest of us.

Give us all a break! Our educational system is a county operation.
If Peachtree City’s Mayor Harold Logsdon and Fayetteville’s Ken Steele would stop annexing and rezoning land to higher density, Mrs. Eifert wouldn’t be crying about school redistricting. Having the cities watch over the county school system is a bit hypocritical.
