Parents from across the state have been asked to help the state Department of Education increase parent and family engagement to help promote student success. On Thursday, State School Superintendent John Barge announced the names of 36 parents who will form the 2013 Parent Advisory Council, including a representative from Hall County. Robert Smith, parent of an eighth-grader at South Hall Middle School, has been chosen by Barge to participate on the council for the year.
