The Talbot County School District is launching a strategic planning process and is seeking input from citizens, staff, parents, students, and civic leaders.
“Community feedback will play a vital role in shaping a plan that reflects the priorities and aspirations of the district and its stakeholders,” said Superintendent Jonathan Taylor .
There will be two opportunities for the community to share input. The first will be an in-person planning session scheduled for Thursday, Apr. 30 from 4 to 6 p.m. in the CEHS Cafeteria. Citizens, staff, parents, and students are invited to participate in a group discussion focused on identifying priorities and opportunities for the future of the district.
For those unable to attend the in-person meeting, an online survey will also be available. A link to the survey will be posted on the district website, www.talbot.k12.ga.us, the day following the meeting.
All community input gathered through both opportunities will be reviewed by a planning team composed of school staff and community members. This team will use the feedback to help develop the district’s vision, mission, beliefs, and strategic goals.
“It is critical to have as many voices at the table as possible so that our strategic plan will truly represent all of our district’s stakeholders,” Taylor said.

Andy’s Astronomy: Planets of “Battlestar Galactica”
In 1979, just three years after “Space 1999” was cancelled, the original “Battlestar Galactica” premiered.
This was a very high-budget production that began with a premier movie and phased into a television series.
The story had humans spread across 12 “colonies” located in the far reaches of space with those planets drawing their names from the 12 constellations visible from Earth. Under the guise of peace talks to end a long war, the colonies are attacked by artificial intelligent humanoid robots with the goal of exterminating the human species. Also attacked are the colonies’ 12 battlestars, capital warships, also unprepared for the sneak attack. Perceived similarity to the attack on Pearl Harbor is understandable.
This Week in American History: 1568 – French Forces Attack Spanish Fort San Mateo
• May 3. On this day in 1568, America is not yet a country when French soldiers attack the Spanish fort, San Mateo, located along the banks of the St. Johns River in Florida. Spanish soldiers surviving the battle are slaughtered. This bloodthirsty action was because three years earlier Spanish soldiers out of St. Augustine had attacked the French Fort Carolina located in nearly the same spot.
DID YOU KNOW …? Was the execution of a British villain botched, but gone through with anyway?
May day! May day!
No, I’m not signaling distress. I’m simply noting that this week we move on to the fifth month of the year, and the first day is – you guessed it – May day.
Later in the month we get Cinco de Mayo (5th), Mother’s Day (10th), and Memorial Day (25th). Busy month, eh?
Of course, every week there’s this silly trivia column thing that you find in the newspaper, so if the upcoming holiday events aren’t exactly causing you to have tingles of excitement, perhaps the trivia will. I kind of hope so, anyway.
Enjoy!
