Coweta County officials will
huddle with State Senator Mitch Seabaugh to discuss a unique partnership
between the Coweta County School System and Hollywood.
Seabaugh and the Coweta County
School Board will meet at 4 p.m. at the system's Jackson Street office
to discuss the proposed Central Education Center at Riverwood Studios.
In September, Seabaugh and
other officials announced the county's Central Education Center wanted
to expand its educational mission to Riverwood Studios in Senoia, just
across Line Creek from southern Peachtree City.
CEC plans to lease 60,000 square
feet at the studio to teach its classes in an industrial setting.
The other 60,000 square feet
at the studio will still be used for moviemaking, and students may have
an opportunity to experience some interaction with some of Hollywood's
dream makers.
"They already have a film
and video class at CEC, so they will have an opportunity to possibly view
a hands-on experience in the movie business," said Riverwood president
Scott Tigchlearr at the September press conference.
to the Senoia studio, CEC will now have more space at their Newnan campus
to expand their offerings.
Central Education Center opened
in 2000 as a unique partnership between industry and government.
The center offers high school
classes along with technical programs from Carroll Tech.
Coweta's three public high
schools feed students into the center, which also offers continuing education
programs, along with an evening high school.
School system public information
officer Dean Jackson said Monday's meeting will focus on working
with county's legislative delegation in january to try and secure
funding for the project.
