By Cecil Staton Special to The Telegraph For more than 12 years my family has made Georgia our home. Both of our children were born here. We chose Macon as the location to grow a new business. As the business has grown, we have brought new families into this community.
Macon is blessed with a great location and enormous human and natural resources.
Many positive changes have occurred over the last decade. Unfortunately, my experience is that our public schools are almost always an issue when recruiting people to live and work in Macon. Whether deserved or undeserved, and it is some of both, the image of our public schools is not positive. There are hopeful signs. Recently I had the opportunity to visit Miller Middle School.
