slideshow The two Es, not the three Rs, will be the focus of a session hosted by the South Rome Redevelopment Corp. on Monday night.Educational and employment opportunities will be the point of emphasis sche?duled for the community meeting Monday at 5:30 p.m. in the gymnasium at the old Anna K. Davie Elementary School site, 301 Nixon Ave.
Dubbed ?Education and Employment: Sustaining Today While Preparing for Tomorrow,? the event will feature representatives from all the local colleges as well as Darlington School, along with officials from the Department of Labor and Goodwill Career Services, until 7 p.m.
?It?s truly just a time for all the residents of South Rome and anyone who lives in Rome to come out and hear this information,? said Melissa Jones, executive director of the South Rome Redevelopment Corp.
College admissions requirements and job pre-
paredness programs will be discussed during the program.
Citizens will be asked to take part in a survey regarding ed-
ucational needs in the community. The SRRC is working to develop a first-class early learning center in the community.
?We know there are a lot of day cares here in Rome, and we don?t want a day care. We actually want an early learning academy,? Jones said. ?We?re not talking basic coloring, but actually focusing on social skills, mental development skills and things along that line.?
Georgia Power has provided a $25,000 grant to help get the early learning academy started, and the SRRC is hoping to get more help from the utility in 2012.
