Keith Simmons named new Griffing-Spalding Schools Superintendent

Bibb Schools' Chief of Staff Keith Simmons will become the Superintendent of Griffin-Spalding County using what he learned as Curtis Jones' right-hand man for the last six years. "There was no chief of staff prior to my arriving, so there was a degree of pressure to make sure that this new position and this new work was seen as a valuable addition to the new superintendent," Simmons said. "He quickly was able to learn the individuals on his team, was able to figure out the procedures, put in place processes, and started managing immediately the projects we had that included a lot of the ESPLOST projects as well as some of the improvements we continue to make with technology," Jones said.
