“GLI supports the placement of Superintendent Marty Pollio as the day-to-day manager of JCPS during the state takeover of the district. This action will minimize confusion and disruption for the 100,000+ students in the system as they finish out this school year and prepare for the next. The audit clearly identified long-term issues within the administrative structures of JCPS and we are hopeful that this audit and the action plan recommended by Interim Commissioner Lewis will be the first step forward towards a better school system for all of the county’s students. We look forward to working with Dr. Pollio and the dedicated teachers, administrators and support staff of JCPS, and employers across the region as we make our way through this new territory.”

– Kent Oyler, President & CEO of GLI
