Fayette County

teachers won't be racking up as many miles in the car in the coming years

while furthering their own educations and keeping up with various certification

requirements.

The West Georgia

Educational Technology Training Center, headquartered at the State University

of West Georgia, is setting up a remote training facility at the LaFayette

Education Center in Fayetteville to allow local teachers the opportunity

to continue their training without having to travel to the West Georgia

campus in Carrollton.

A cooperative

agreement with the center, approved by the Fayette County Board of Education

at its July meeting, means that a computer lab facility will be set up

at LaFayette, including up to 15 computers and other equipment needed

for training. The ETTC will also provide an on-site instructor.

Specific courses

will be negotiated each year and determined by the ETTC director and the

county school system's staff development coordinator. Other educators

can participate in the classes but priority will be given to those employed
