Statement
"It’s an exciting time to be on the BOE. We’re launching a number of
initiatives that will enhance the educational process and benefit our
entire school community. Some of these include the world language
program for all grade levels, the five-year technology plan, and the
professional learning communities approach--a school-wide strategy that
integrates student learning in a collaborative environment. In recent
years the BOE has emphasized academic rigor, a strong curriculum,
accountability, and improved professional development--all within a
zero-based budget. I look forward to helping the BOE bring Guilford
schools to a new level of excellence."
