From video presentations, to singing, to dance performances, Bibb County Superintendent Romain Dallemand put on a show for the entire district in the unveiling of his Macon Miracle plan.

Many community members walked into the presentation with a preconceived notion about the plan since Dallemand initially presented it to the school board over a week ago, but school officials hoped that it would not change the purpose of today's presentation.

"To hear from the superintendent first hand, to hear what excitement is generated by the plan," says Edward Judie, Deputy Superintendent of Bibb Schools.

Dr. Dallemand began his presentation with a video expressing Bibb County's failed school system and indicated that last year nearly 500 students were considered to be in the homeless category, and about nine-thousand students were suspended from school for bad behavior, over 700 students dropped out of school.

"Too many of our children are failing to learn the knowledge, skills, and values, which will ensure their rightful place in the American Dream," said Dr. Romain Dallemand, Superintendent of Bibb County Schools.

Dallemand expressed his dream for Bibb and made several references to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

"Dr. King would be very interested in what we're about to do in Bibb County," says Dallemand.

The Superintendent clarified many parts of the plan including that it does not intend to increase class sizes. The plan aims to cap elementary school classes at 25 and secondary school classes at 30 students. It will close down 12 schools, but Dallemand says in his year of research, he found empty classrooms across Bibb schools. His plan will use each school to its capacity. He will also seek efficiency and realignment of teachers, but there will be no layoffs in the process.

"America as we know it today was built on the backs of working Americans. Our children however, will succeed as thinking Americans, competing in the 21st century multi-ethnic global economy," says Dr. Dallemand.

A complete show featuring Chinese culture sealed the presentation to encourage Bibb County to sign on to learning Mandarin, which will be mandatory if the Macon Miracle is implemented as is.

Dallemand says he plans to wait a few days to gather feedback from the community before taking the Macon Miracle to a vote with the school board.
