A legislative summit next week will give the community an opportunity to discuss educational issues facing the state. Hosted by state Rep. Kevin Tanner of Dawsonville and state Sen. Steve Gooch of Dahlonega, the listening session will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the University of North Georgia’s Health and Services auditorium, 159 Sunset Drive, Dahlonega. Tanner said he’s had several discussions within the legislative district concerning educational funding, the idea of Common Core standards and the role the federal government plays in education on the local level, as well as the general direction and future of education.
