Georgia Schools Superintendent: Kids Take Too Many Tests
Richard Woods, as heard on WABE's “A Closer Look.”
Georgia got a new schools superintendent this year. Richard Woods was elected in November 2014 after former schools chief John Barge stepped down to run — unsuccessfully — for governor.
Woods took office in January.
Recently, WABE talked with him about a range of topics from testing to summer learning.
The conversation begins with Woods describing the duties of the state’s new fine arts director, Jessica Booth.
