The age of a singular pathway for high school students has come to an end, say leaders of Hall County schools. In fact, they said, that age should have passed years ago. Earlier this month, Will Schofield, the superintendent of Hall County Schools, presented the county’s local legislators with the system’s “Hall County Workforce 2020 Competitiveness Plan,” a proposal that aims to create alternative pathways to a high school diploma, effectively producing a more qualified, skilled labor force.“This is just kind of a culmination of conversations we’ve been having across the state for the last five years — at a minimum,” Schofield said.
