Dr. Bubba Longgrear, Candler County School District Superintendent, has been recognized as one of four 2024 Superintendent of the Year Finalists for the state of Georgia by the Georgia School Superintendents Association (GSSA)!
"It is an honor to be recognized as a finalist," says Dr. Longgrear. "This is truly a recognition for the good work of our school system and community."
Nominations were received from August 2, 2023, to September 1, 2023. Nominations were made by boards of education, colleagues, community members, and businesses, from all over our state.
There were 24 candidates nominated and four were selected as state finalists to represent the superintendent’s profession in Georgia. These four finalists will now move to the next phase of completing an application to enter the national competition, where one of the four will be selected to represent the state of Georgia against the other 49 states and Canada.
"This is a tremendous honor to be amongst the very best professionals who answer the call to serve in the K-12 Public School Superintendency...a most challenging and honorable career," says Dr. John Zauner, Executive Director of GSSA.

The American Rescue Plan Act Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief required the Candler County School District to create a plan to ensure additional steps are taken to safely reopen schools for in-person instruction, keep schools open, and take appropriate measures to helps schools invest in mitigation strategies consistent with the CDC. In addition, school districts must address interrupted instruction by committing a minimum of 20% of these funds to address learning loss. Please review the ARP and Return to In-Person Instruction plans and provide any feedback.
