Arnsdorff will fill the cabinet-level member position and will attend five GSSA meetings per year.

“It is an honor to serve on the GSSA board,” stated Arnsdorff. “I know there are many other talented individuals who could contribute greatly to the work of the GSSA.”

According to Herb Garrett, GSSA executive director, the cabinet-level member is always an assistant superintendent who is well-known and respected by Georgia’s school superintendents.

Arnsdorff has served as an assistant superintendent for the Effingham County School System for three years. Prior to that, he served as the director of instruction and technology, principal at Springfield Elementary, assistant principal at Effingham County Middle School and teacher at Effingham County High School.

Among various other local organizations and committees, he has served as president for the Effingham Association of Educators, co-chairperson for the regional library board, president for the Georgia Salzburger Society and president for the Historic Effingham Society.
The GSSA accepts as its mission the role of chief advocate for Georgia’s public school children. It is dedicated to the premise that all children can be successful in school.

In order to help schools become exciting places of learning that can make a difference in the lives of Georgia’s future leaders, the GSSA provides school superintendents with numerous on-going programs for professional development and a sophisticated network of communication tools to expedite communication to and from members.

The GSSA also provides superintendents with a variety of materials to inform them of public education trends, initiatives, policies and procedural changes.

Founded in 1921, the GSSA is one of Georgia’s oldest education-based professional organizations.

It is the state chartered organization representing the American Association of School Administrators (AASA) and also provides leadership and representation at the national level for matters of public education.
