Ogeechee Tech not on the radar for merger
W 081612 ROTARY ED FORUM 01
Bulloch County Schools Superintendent Charles Wilson, standing, answers questions Thursday with Dawn Cartee, president of Ogeechee Technical College, left, Brooks Keel, president of Georgia Southern University, center right, and Bob Boehmer, interim president of East Georgia State College, far right, during the Rotary Club of Statesboro's education forum at the Forest Heights Country Club.
Ogeechee Technical College appears to be safe, for the foreseeable future, from consolidation with any other institution in the Technical College System of Georgia. “From what I gather, after talking to the commissioner just this past week with my evaluation, we’re not on the radar, and he doesn’t intend to have any additional mergers during his tenure as our commissioner,” said Dawn Cartee, the president of Ogeechee Tech, in response to a question during the annual Education Roundtable on Thursday morning. The Statesboro-Bulloch Chamber of Commerce hosts the roundtable each year during a joint meeting of the city’s two Rotary Clubs.
