Dawson County Superintendent of Schools Damon Gibbs was chosen to participate in a special advisory council by State Superintendent Richard Woods for the upcoming year. Around 15 superintendents from across the state were asked to be a part of the council that will meet quarterly during the year, according to Gibbs. "The State School Superintendent, from what I understand, establishes this group each year to get input about education initiatives from districts across the state," Gibbs said.
