After a visiting team from AdvancED approved the Bulloch County Schools last week for a five-year extension of the school system's accreditation, the Board of Education promptly rewarded all employees with a 1 percent pay stipend. The AdvancED six-member external review team, led by John Sedey of St. Paul, Minnesota, visited Bulloch County and its school system March 5-9. Sedey announced the accreditation recommendation and the team's findings during a special Bulloch County Board of Education meeting Wednesday.
