Cox to speak at library Sunday

State School Superintendent Kathy Cox will be appearing at the Peachtree City Library in celebration of National Women’s History Month Sunday, March 14, at 2 p.m. Cox will be speaking about the new curriculum. A question-and-answer period will follow.

As state school superintendent, Cox is the state’s top elected official over Georgia’s K-12 public schools and the chief executive officer of the Board of Education.

A resident of Fayette County, she was first elected into public office as a state representative in 1998. She received both her master’s and bachelor’s degrees in political science from Emory University, where she graduated with high honors and was a member of Phi Beta Kappa.

Cox ran for superintendent in 2002 to continue her service to Georgia’s children. Her entire career has been devoted to education and to education-related issues. For 15 years, she worked with the Fayette County Board of Education as a social studies teacher.

Peachtree City Library will be celebrating National Women’s History Month the entire month of March with a special emphasis on the women of Fayette County. Stop by the library to view the special displays of famous women throughout history.
