(Cleveland)- Local business leaders gathered at noon Tuesday to hear Georgia’s Lt. Governor Casey Cagle, who was in town. The White County Rotary Club hosted the meeting, with members of the Helen Rotary,  Cleveland Kiwanis, and Lions Club invited to attend. 

During the lunchtime event at Cleveland First Presbyterian Church Cagle had praise for White County Charter School and the excellent graduation rate for the school.

Cagle said education is key to the success of the state along with a good infrastructure.  He said the proper education is needed to develop a good workforce.

The Lt. Governor told the crowd that the challenge for the state is to provide that education for the workforce and that we don’t let any student fall through the cracks and he pointed to local community organizations playing a part.

” It’s about the Rotary Club, it’s about the Lions Club and the Kiwanis Club and the other community organizations that are coming alongside to help make sure that we are filling the gap that no kid gets to fall between, “ commented Cagle.
