Public Education Grants
Since its founding in 2001, Citizens for a Better Greenville (CBG) has taken on a broad range of issues in the Greenville, MS school district, including services for students with special needs, facilities improvements, composition of the school board, selection of superintendent, parent/teacher relations and working with the statewide Prevention of Schoolhouse to Jailhouse Coalition, to address the zero tolerance discipline policies in the Greeneville Public Schools. CBG’s efforts have exposed the tracking of elementary school students through the creation of an “enhancement school”, provided staff development for teachers and staff working with students who have special needs, and designed and implemented a Service Learning for Social Change course for the high school. CBG was awarded a grant of $35,000 to increase its membership and the effectiveness of its local education organizing campaigns, continue to be an important source of information on policy issues for parents and students and continue as an active participant in the state-wide Dismantling the Achievement Gap Working Group and Prevention of Schoolhouse to Jailhouse Coalition.
