Dr. Trey Robertson, principal of Southeast Bulloch High (SEBHS), is leaving Bulloch County Schools to accept an assistant superintendent position with Bryan County Schools.  Robertson notified his staff Friday morning. “We appreciate Dr. Robertson’s years of service, and we wish him well,” said Charles Wilson, superintendent of schools.  “We have posted the position, and we well be looking both internally and externally for the best leadership option for Southeast Bulloch High.”  Robertson will begin his new duties on July 1, as Bryan County Schools’ assistant superintendent of operations and student services.  Bulloch County Schools administrators hope to fill the position prior to that date. 

In partnership with the Boys and Girls Club, Georgia Southern University is sponsoring the second year of VERB^TM Summer Scorecard (VSS).  VSS is a free program that encourages youth to go out and play over the summer months, a time when physical activity tends to decrease. 

VSS uses incentives and provides opportunities for participants to win prizes at the end of the summer to encourage youth to be physically active.   VSS is a learning experience that will help encourage youth to continue existing activities as well as try new activities.  Youth who participate will track existing and new activities using a Scorecard that can be submitted for small prizes throughout the summer and a chance to win a valuable prize at the end of the summer. 

You can register at the Boys and Girls Club, the Statesboro Bulloch County Recreation Department's Honey Bowen Building, or by email at verbsummerscorecardga@gmail.com.

A kickoff event is scheduled for June 1, 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. at Mill Creek Park . For more information about VSS, contact staff at the email address above.

The most anticipated moment for a parent is the sound of a child’s first words. But what if the words are delayed, jumbled, or never come at all. Speech and language problems can affect early learning and self-esteem.  Each day Bulloch County Schools' speech language pathologists help 475 students between the ages of 3 and 21 find their voices. We join the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) in celebrating Better Hearing and Speech Month to raise public awareness of speech and language disorders that affect 14 million Americans.

If she were mayor, Southeast Bulloch Middle School sixth grader Rebecca Ledlow would serve citizens by “creating a fair place to live and work by maintaining a safe environment, focusing on growth and prosperity for jobs and new businesses, and achieve these goals by listening, evaluating, and building strong relationships with people inside the town and out.”  Lines like these from her entry in the annual Georgia Municipal Association’s “If I Were Mayor” Essay Contest, led her to win the District 12 level of the contest and be selected as the state winner  during a luncheon in Atlanta May 7 at the 755 Club at Turner Field. 

GMA honored Ledlow and the 11 other district winners, who were chosen from 6,758 entries statewide. Each district winner received $250 and other prizes, and Ledlow received an additional $250 for being the state winner.
