The Post-Baccalaureate program is for those with non-education degrees, allowing them to earn a teaching certification online while working. The MAT Pedagogy degree is aimed at certified teachers with unrelated degrees, providing additional credentials and potential salary increases. Both programs are online and address regional and statewide needs for qualified educators. Tami Smith, director of teacher education, highlights the importance of these programs in helping individuals pursue teaching careers and enhance their professional development. STORY 2: Sequoyah’s Tousignaut Headed to KSU Sequoyah basketball star Brendan Tousignaut committed to Kennesaw State on July 22, following in the footsteps of former Etowah guard Chase Clemmons, who joined the Owls last year. Tousignaut, a 6-foot-6 rising senior, averaged 19 points, nine rebounds, and two steals per game, leading Sequoyah to the Class 6-A playoffs and earning a spot on the All-Cherokee County first team. His commitment comes as Kennesaw State’s basketball program, which recently made the NCAA Tournament, aims to build on its success. Tousignaut's addition is expected to bolster the Owls’ roster as they strive to improve from a recent 15-16 season. STORY 3: Cherokee Sheriff’s Office: Fire Truck Hit in Multi-Vehicle Crash On Thursday morning, a Cherokee County fire truck responding to a crash on Interstate 575 in Canton was struck by two cars, resulting in minor injuries to two individuals. The incident occurred around 8:07 a.m., and all northbound lanes were closed for about an hour starting at 8:15 a.m. due to the accident.

    Jul 20 2024
    CTL Script/ Top Stories of July 20th Publish Date: July 20th BREAK: GON :30 From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast Today is Saturday, July 20th and Happy 77th Birthday to musician Carlos Santana. ***07.20.24 – BIRTHDAY – CARLOS SANTANA*** I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Marker Recognizes Canton's Historic Stumptown NeighborhoodCherokee Approves Property Tax IncreaseConstruction Contract Awarded for Long Swamp Creek Rec Area We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: CU of GA STORY 1: Marker Recognizes Canton’s Historic Stumptown Neighborhood A new historic marker commemorating Canton’s Stumptown neighborhood will be unveiled at Burge Park on Crisler Street, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony scheduled for July 22 at 10 a.m. The initiative, a collaboration between History Cherokee and the city of Canton, was funded by the city and developed by History Cherokee’s Black History Committee. Stumptown, established in the 1920s, is one of Cherokee County’s oldest predominantly Black communities, named for the tree stumps left under house foundations during its development. The marker aims to highlight the community’s historical significance, with plans for more markers in partnership with the city to recognize other historic neighborhoods. Here is Stephanie Joyner on plans for future signage: ***STUMPTOWN 2*** STORY 2: Cherokee Approves Property Tax Increase Cherokee County commissioners unanimously approved a property tax increase, setting the maintenance and operations millage rate at 5.153 mills, lower than the originally advertised 5.224 mills. This decision will raise property tax revenues by 5.99% over the rollback rate. The county also set the parks bond millage rate at 0.27 and the fire district tax rate at 2.888 mills, resulting in a total rate of 8.311 mills. The increase is intended to fund additional firefighter positions and meet rising costs due to inflation. Residents expressed mixed reactions at public hearings, with some supporting the tax hike for improved services like Bob Alford. ***BOB ALFORD*** Other residents like Liza Robinson raised concerns about rising property taxes and suggested alternative fiscal strategies. ***LIZA ROBINSON*** STORY 3: Construction Contract Awarded for Long Swamp Creek Rec AreaCherokee County commissioners have approved a $2 million construction contract with Magnum Contracting, LLC, for developing the Long Swamp Creek Recreation Area near Ball Ground.

Planned features include a canoe and kayak launch, outdoor archery range, walking trails, campsites, picnic pavilion, restroom facilities, and parking.
