Water Damage Restoration in Columbus, GA

Columbus area public schools improved in most categories compared to last year on the Georgia Department of Education’s 2024 report card.

The federal “Every Student Succeeds Act” requires each state to have an accountability system that reports how its public schools perform. Georgia’s accountability system is called the College and Career Ready Performance Index. The CCRPI comprises five components:

Here’s how the Muscogee County School District’s 2024 CCRPI scores compare to its 2023 scores and to the state average on the 100-point scale:

MCSD elementary schools

MCSD middle schools

MCSD high schools

MCSD improved in eight of the 10 categories comparable to last year.

“Building on the results of the past few years, we join with our school communities in celebrating continued improvement in progress and notable increases in content mastery at all levels — elementary, middle and high school — in the areas of math, science and English Language Arts,” MCSD superintendent David Lewis said in a news release.

Although MCSD trails the Georgia average in 10 of the 13 overall categories, Lewis noted the school district’s improvement outpaced the state in seven of the 10 comparable areas.

“That further affirms the hard work by students and educators as well the improvement initiatives undertaken post-pandemic,” he said. “While we are pleased with the progress, we are not satisfied and must continue to focus on early literacy, writing, and the newly implemented math frameworks going forward.”

Scores for individual schools are available at ccrpi.gadoe.org.

In an emailed interview with the Ledger-Enquirer, Lewis explained what he thinks has contributed to MCSD’s progress on its CCRPI scores.

“We have worked hard as a district over the last two years to provide teacher-vetted, evidence-based instructional resources to support the delivery of instruction throughout Muscogee County that align to recent changes in state law and Georgia instructional standards,” he said. “Teacher leaders have been involved in developing course materials that provide teachers with a detailed road map for the year with the necessary supporting resources and assessments.

“As a district, we have created the MCSD Blueprint where these course materials are housed for teachers and school leaders to access. Within this Blueprint, achievement targets have been established to provide us the goals we are working to reach. We have also developed new writing assessments to better inform teachers on student writing ability and achievement.”

Asked what displeases him most about MCSD’s CCRPI report, and what the district is doing to improve in that area, Lewis said, “Although we are pleased with the improvement and increased content mastery at all levels in math, English Language Arts and science, we are not satisfied and must continue to focus on early literacy and numeracy, writing, and the newly implemented Georgia math frameworks outlined in our district improvement plan.

“To address early literacy, our district is engaged in a multi-year partnership with the Rollins Center for Language and Literacy begun last year in ten elementary schools that provides pre-k through Grade 2 staff training in the research-based Science of Reading. Remaining elementary schools will be added over this year and next to include expanding this training to grades 3-5. Additionally, the training, implementation and close monitoring of the previously noted MCSD Blueprint includes a greater emphasis on writing.”

Lewis added, “Moreover, we are excited for the inaugural year of the innovative, re-purposed Brewer Elementary K-2 Innovation Academy focused on early literacy and numeracy acceleration for qualifying children of Dorothy Height, Martin Luther King, Jr. and J.D. Davis Elementary Schools. With the assistance of our community partners, this school will equip and empower these children for success in third grade and beyond.”

Here’s how the Harris County School District compares to its scores last year and to the state average in the CCRPI components:

HCSD elementary schools

HCSD middle schools

Harris County High School

HCSD secondary curriculum and instruction director Donna Patterson told the Ledger-Enquirer in an emailed interview what pleases her most in the CCRPI report is that the majority of the district’s schools scored 100 in closing gaps and the district’s content mastery, progress and readiness scores are higher than the state average.

“All of this reflects our efforts to provide high quality instruction to all students,” she said.

Asked what displeases her most about HCSD’s performance and what the district is doing to improve that area, Patterson said, “Now that we know that the majority, but not all, of our schools scored 100% in Closing Gaps, we must now investigate why and provide the necessary support so that all of our schools will score 100% in this area as we move forward.”

Here’s how the Chattahoochee County School District compares to its scores last year and to the state average in the CCRPI components:

Chattahoochee County Education Center

Chattahoochee County Middle School

Chattahoochee County High School

In an email to the Ledger-Enquirer, ChattCo superintendent Kristie Brooks called these results “a strong performance.”

“The district’s scores demonstrate significant achievements in academic accountability, especially among elementary and middle school students, while also highlighting areas for targeted improvement,” she said.

Brooks said the scores “reflect the hard work of our teachers, students, and community partners in fostering a culture of academic excellence.”

The key factors contributing to these successes, she said, include:

As for areas to improve, Brooks said, “With a need for high school to increase content mastery and for elementary school to continue increasing the academic performance specifically in the subgroups of students with disabilities, we remain focused on accelerating growth for every learner.

“To address these challenges, the district is implementing targeted interventions to include providing additional time for skills-based instruction based on individual data to personalize learning experiences and support individual student needs.

“Also, our continued focus on professional learning communities allows our teachers to engage in collaboration and training to support innovative practices to further close learning gaps and accelerate student progress.”

Columbus Ledger-Enquirer

Among the 513 Georgia public schools ranked in the state’s bottom 25% for performance, 26 are in Columbus.

And that means, due to a new state law, students in those schools are eligible to apply each school year for the Georgia Promise Scholarship, a $6,500 voucher for an education savings account to use public money for private school tuition, fees, tutoring and other qualified expenses in grades K-12.

Nearly half of Muscogee County’s 56 schools are on the list:

Chattahoochee County High School also is on the list.

The Georgia Promise Scholarship is an education savings account open to students who reside in the attendance zone of a Georgia public school ranked in the lowest-performing 25% and who have been enrolled in a Georgia public school for two consecutive full-time attendance counts (typically one academic year) or are a rising kindergarten student. They also must have a parent who has resided in Georgia for at least one year, with exceptions for active-duty military.

The scholarship also may be used for textbooks and supplemental materials, services from a physician or licensed therapist for occupational, behavioral, physical or speech-language therapies, curriculum and transportation to a service provider (up to $500 per year). As much as half of the unused money in a Georgia Promise Scholarship recipient’s account may carry forward to the following academic year.

Eligible families may start applying for the scholarship at MyGeorgiaPromise.org in “early spring 2025” to begin using it in time for the fall 2025 semester, Mike Seabaugh, the program’s senior vice president, said in a news release from the Georgia Student Finance Commission. The dates for the application period are expected to be announced this month.

The total amount of money available for the scholarships cannot exceed 1% of the state’s funding for public schools. So the program is estimated to be able to serve 21,000-22,000 students each year.

Eligible students from families with incomes below 400% of the federal poverty level, equating to about $120,000 per year, will be in the first group to receive these scholarships.

“Once a student is approved to participate in the Georgia Promise Scholarship program, they will not lose eligibility if the school they are zoned to attend improves in performance,” Georgia Student Finance Commission external affairs director Hayley Corbitt told the Ledger-Enquirer.

The $6,500 was selected as the value of the scholarship because it is the approximate average per-pupil amount of funding the state gives local school districts.

The Georgia General Assembly passed the Promise Scholarship Act, known as Senate Bill 233, during the 2024 session, and Gov. Brian Kemp signed it April 23.

According to the law, the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement is required to calculate the lowest-performing 25% of Georgia’s public schools based on the average College and Career Ready Performance Index from the previous two school years, excluding the following types of schools:

The law requires the Georgia Legislature to vote each year whether to fund the Promise Scholarships, and the program will end in 10 years if another session of the Georgia General Assembly and another governor don’t extend it.

The CCRPI is the Georgia Department of Education’s accountability tool designed to measure the progress of the state’s public schools in preparing students for college and careers. The CCRPI formula comprises results from the Georgia Milestones Assessment System, which are the state’s standardized tests, and includes five main components, each scored on a scale of 0-100: content mastery, progress, closing gaps, readiness and graduation rate.

The Ledger-Enquirer asked the MCSD and ChattCo superintendents for their reaction to this news.

“While we are disappointed to see any of our schools on the Promise Scholarship list, this is the statistical reality based on the current calculation methodology and, as in the past, we acknowledge the need for continued systemic improvement to address this head-on,” MCSD superintendent David Lewis wrote in an email. “Missing from the methodology used to derive the list is the great progress many of these schools have made, particularly in the areas of student growth and closing the achievement gap among student groups that we believe is an important measure.

“So, while we know there is still much work to be done, we do want to recognize the hard work and continued effort of our students, teachers and school leaders working in our challenged schools that has led to improvement on all performance metrics to include high-performing students in each of the schools on the list. It is also important to note that, according to current legislation and without a designated performance target threshold, there will always be a bottom 25% of schools statewide.”

ChattCo superintendent Kristie Brooks wrote in an email, “Though we are disappointed by the announcement that CCHS was included on the list for the Promise Scholarship, ChattCo schools continue to support families in their right to choose educational options for their children,” she said. “Using the 2023 and 2024 assessment data, the calculations are based on a single CCRPI score formula from 2019. It is very concerning to me that due to the size of CCHS, there are components that make up the score that are unable to be calculated for CCHS. Because of this, CCHS is unable to benefit from additional points in the calculation as we have too few students to receive progress points, etc.

“. . . Regardless of the formula or the list, we are aware that CCHS must improve instructionally specifically in the area of American Literature as this has remained the lowest area of performance. Contrasting these scores to the improvements in areas such as Algebra 1 (where we were recently named a Math Leader School by GaDOE), we are committed to increasing the instructional best practices necessary for student success in American Literature.

“Other accountability measures such as graduation rate and closing the achievement gap continue to exceed the state expectations. Specifically, in 2024, CCHS obtained 100 points for closing the achievement gap indicating that every subgroup met the state targets (with exception of Hispanics in American Literature).

“. . . We remain pleased with our elementary and middle school as their test scores have consistently exceeded the state averages. We will continue to maximize the benefits found at CCHS while we also remain committed to improving test scores in American Literature. Fortunately, our students are graduating (over 91% grad rate) and demonstrating exceptional success as they transition into post-secondary enrollment or the workforce which is an indication that one test score does not define a student’s ability just as one list does not define the strengths of a school.

“As always, we welcome families to ChattCo for tours, encourage them to ask questions or to even observe in classrooms because partnering with families is the best option for ensuring student success.”

Columbus Ledger-Enquirer

706-576-6272

*The following may contain spoilers for season one of “The Later Daters.”

Forget Golden Bachelor, the Netflix show “Later Daters” delivers the stories of six “silver singles” from Georgia trying for a second (or third, fourth or fifth in some cases) shot at love. Most of the daters hail from the Atlanta area, but Columbus gets a special shoutout from ex-Army paratrooper Nate Brown.

Executive-produced by former First Lady Michelle Obama and the creators of Love on the Spectrum, the show follows individuals in their 50s, 60s and 70s, some of which have been single for more than a decade. The show is a new way to look at dating in the 21st century through a demographic of folks who often get overlooked.

Logan Ury, a Harvard-trained behavioral scientist, is the professional dating coach guiding the singles through a series of blind dates, offering advice on how to bring their dating strategies into the modern age. Each of the cast goes on a series of blind dates, with pep talks and (sometimes) provocative advice from the expert who is hoping they will unlearn bad habits and patterns.

Many of the singles have fairly antiquated values about dating that stem from a much more conventional and conservative approach and are a product of their generation’s belief system. Ury’s expertise helps them form realistic expectations about modern dating. This makes for riveting, and sometimes embarrassing, TV.

Nate Brown, 56, provides the Columbus connection. He is a three-time divorced father of two grown children and has been single for 12 years following his second divorce. He was honorably discharged from his career as a paratrooper after sustaining life-altering injuries during a jump and currently works in security in Atlanta.

Brown likes to hang out in his extremely tidy home, which he describes as “living a peaceful life” and enjoys a slower pace than some of his blind dates. Although Ury describes his lifestyle as “buttoned up,” his penchant for order can read as a little intense. He was looking for a curvy woman who isn’t super physically active since his injuries keep him from doing a lot of outdoor stuff.

Sadly, Brown didn’t find a love match during his stint on the show, but it seems he made some good friends. He and fellow castmate Susan have been seen attending a Falcons game together.

Aside from being set in Atlanta and featuring a fellow Columbusite, the show is sweet and relatable. The challenges the daters face are fairly universal, and it’s fun watching them navigate unfamiliar situations like who should text first or when to have a first kiss is wholesome TV.

It’s refreshing to see a diverse cast that is not unilaterally a size 0, in their 20s, dressed in bikinis and crying over their champagne glass. Whether you enjoy reality TV or not, I promise you know someone just like at least one of the cast members and you’ll recognize the most beloved Southern archetypes the longer you watch.

All eight episodes of “Later Daters” debuted on Netflix on Nov. 29 and are available to stream now. It’s a far cry from the other big dating shows of the year like “Love Island “ or “Love is Blind.” It has heart and sincerity, and it would be a perfect, unassuming watch for you and your family during the holidays.

Sexual harassment and retaliation accusations led to $100,000 being paid to a city employee to settle claims against Municipal Court Clerk Reginald Thompson and the Columbus Consolidated Government, according to documents obtained by the Ledger-Enquirer.

The Ledger-Enquirer reported last month that Columbus Council, without public discussion, unanimously approved CCG’s part of the settlement at the end of its Oct. 22 meeting after Thompson was accused of making repeated sexual remarks toward an employee.

A copy of the resolution the Ledger-Enquirer obtained from the Clerk of Columbus Council office shows Alicia Wells-Lewis, a former employee of the court, filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, alleging Thompson and CCG violated her federal rights. The alleged violations weren’t specified in the resolution.

But through a request under the Georgia Open Records Act, the Ledger-Enquirer received a copy of the EEOC charge filed by Wells-Lewis, who started working March 6, 2023, as a deputy clerk in the Municipal Court. She was “constructively discharged” from that job Feb. 29, according to the document.

The U.S. Department of Labor defines “constructive discharge” as a resignation or retirement that isn’t voluntary because “the employer created a hostile or intolerable work environment or has applied other forms of pressure or coercion.”

Thompson “continuously subjected” Wells-Lewis to “severe and pervasive” sexual harassment while she was employed by CCG, she alleges in the EEOC charge.

He would make “sexually harassing comments” to her “multiple times per week at the office,” according to the document.

“He told me that he wanted to have sex with me, complimented how I looked in my clothing (e.g., ‘You look good in those jeans’ and ‘I love that dress on you’), asked if he could come over to my house to have sex, and told me whenever his wife was out of town and invited me to his house to have sex,” Wells-Lewis says in the EEOC charge. “He frequently expressed his desire for physical sexual contact with me, making comments like: ‘I want to squeeze those thighs;’ ‘I need a hug;’ and ‘I wish I could touch you.’

“Anytime I took a day off or sick time, Mr. Thompson would tell me that he thought I was going to let him come over to my house to have sex. In every instance, I rejected Mr. Thompson’s inappropriate sexual advances by changing the subject.”

Wells-Lewis also accused Thompson of sexually harassing her in text messages.

For example, she alleges in the document that Thompson texted her Oct. 20, 2023, “I need to sex u.”

Wells-Lewis also accused Thompson of sexually harassing her in calls to her personal cellphone.

“At first, I answered his calls because I assumed he was calling to discuss work-related matters,” she said in the EEOC charge. “However, every time I took his calls, he would ask me for sex.

“Due to the continuous sexual harassment, I stopped taking Mr. Thompson’s calls in or around July 2023. He continued to call me, however, and when I did not answer, he would text me to ask me why I didn’t pick up the phone.”

Wells-Lewis alleges that her rejection of Thompson caused him to become “angry with me out of jealousy whenever I talked to other men working in our office, including the high school-aged male intern.”

For example, according to the document, on or about Nov. 17, 2023, ”Mr. Thompson saw me speaking to the intern and later called me into his office and called me a ‘cougar’ and accused me of attempting to initiate a sexual/romantic relationship with the intern, which was false and offensive.”

Wells-Lewis also accused Thompson of using the office security camera system to watch her.

“On at least six occasions,” she says in the EEOC charge, “after Mr. Thompson had left the office for the day, he called and then texted me to tell me that he had ‘just seen me,’ meaning that he was watching me work via the security camera feed that he could access remotely.”

Wells-Lewis also accused Thompson of retaliating against her at work.

He did this by “yelling at me, falsely accusing me of poor performance, contacting Human Resources in a pretextual effort to have me fired, or trying to prevent me from using my accrued paid time off from work,” she says in the document.

Wells-Lewis also accused Thompson of sexually harassing other female employees, but she didn’t specify any incidents or the number of cases.

“Mr. Thompson made it clear to me that he believed himself to be above discipline, and would frequently say, ‘I’m an elected official. You, HR, nobody can touch me,’” she says in the EEOC charge.

Wells-Lewis alleged, on or about Dec. 12, 2023, a coworker informed her that Thompson “admitted to her that he had been sexually harassing me” and that he has “f----d up by sexually harassing me via text message, meaning there was written documentation of his unlawful workplace conduct. Mr. Thompson further informed (the coworker) that he was going to find a reason to fire me.”

The coworker told Wells-Lewis that Thompson also sexually harassed her, according to the EEOC charge.

“However, rather than assist me in reporting Mr. Thompson’s conduct to Human Resources or City officials, (the coworker) advised me to ‘start looking for a new job’ because Thompson was ‘trying to get rid of’ me,” Wells-Lewis says in the document.

Wells-Lewis also accused Thompson of changing the office’s tardiness policy “without prior notice” and “writing me up” when she arrived on or about Feb. 29, 2024.

“His write-up claimed that I had been tardy four times during the month of February, even though I had followed the established policy by calling the office to advise that I would be late and then skipping lunch or working late to make up the time I missed,” she says in the EEOC charge. “When I pointed this out to Mr. Thompson, he yelled at me and said that he had changed the policy.”

After she filed her complaint to Human Resources, “I subsequently learned that Mr. Thompson threatened Municipal Court employees not to cooperate with HR’s investigation,” Wells-Lewis says in the document.

Thompson’s lawyer, David Helmick of the Columbus firm Waldrep, Mullin & Callahan, told the Ledger-Enquirer in an email Wednesday, “Clerk Thompson, as stated in prior reporting, strongly denies these allegations. This matter is resolved and will not be tried in the media. Clerk Thompson and his office are focused on delivering excellent services to the Municipal Court and the Muscogee County community.”

CCG and Thompson settled the matter before any response to the allegations was due, Carter Schondelmayer, the attorney from the Columbus law firm Page, Scrantom, Sprouse, Tucker & Ford representing CCG told the Ledger-Enquirer.

“The CCG has no further comment for the article,” Schondelmayer told the Ledger-Enquirer in an email Tuesday.

In the Nov. 5 election, Thompson retained his position for another four-year term without opposition. He first was elected in 2020, when he ran unopposed. His predecessor was Vivian Creighton Bishop, who retired after 28 years as the court’s clerk.

The settlement “shall not be construed as an admission that the CCG or Thompson acted wrongfully with any respect” to Wells-Lewis, the agreement says. “The CCG and Thompson specifically deny any liability to or wrongful act against” Wells-Lewis, the agreement says.

Although the council approved $95,000 for the settlement, the payments to Wells-Lewis total $100,000, according to the agreement:

In exchange for those payments, Wells-Lewis agreed to file documents for dismissal of her EEOC complaint and to not file any other complaints or lawsuits against Thompson or CCG for actions “for actions taken up to and including” the effective date of the agreement, which was Oct. 30, according to the settlement.

On Aug. 19, Wells-Lewis filed an ante-litem notice, which Georgia law requires before suing a governmental entity to provide time for investigation and to explore a possible resolution without involving a court. By that time, she was working for the Internal Revenue Service.

In response to the IRS background check it does for all new employees, Thompson instructed the Municipal Court chief deputy clerk to not recommend Wells-Lewis for employment, Wells-Lewis alleges in the ante-litem notice.

The ante-litem notice also informed CCG that Wells-Lewis sought economic, compensatory and punitive damages of more than $1 million. If the matter wasn’t resolved through mediation, she intended “to file a lawsuit in order to redress her injuries,” the notice says.

The settlement includes a mutual non-disparagement clause. That means Wells-Lewis and Thompson agreed to not make or solicit any comments “that may be considered derogatory or detrimental to the good name and business reputation” of each other.
