While I have accomplished many of my original goals including building more schools in District 3 to alleviate overcrowding, with the change in leadership as Mo Green assumes the Superintendent’s position, I see a great opportunity to effect a change in the climate of Guilford County Schools. I have been asked by many to run again and to continue representing our district with the passion, accessibility and advocacy that I have over the last 8 years. I do not have any other job so I can continue to treat this role as the fulltime job it is by visiting schools during the day when teachers and principals are there, meeting with parents, serving on Board Committees, Student Assignment and Discipline Hearings.
Plans for the future...
TEACHERS: *Formulate a Teachers Advisory Committee *Engage Teachers in selection process for Staff Development *Add more Teacher Assistants to Classrooms *Increase Teacher Supplement Pay PRINCIPALS: *Reduce paperwork and time away from their schools *Formulate a Principals Advisory Committee SCHOOLS: *Build quality schools at reasonable costs with the goal of saving Bond money so that it can be used to address needs not included in current Bond CAC Construction Advisory Committee I am very thankful to the public that supported the Bond and the need to build schools for our growing student population. I believe that the School Board has an awesome responsibility to see that the public’s money is invested wisely and we must insure that quality schools are built at reasonable costs. I initiated and chair the Construction Advisory Committee which is comprised of dedicated members of the public who give of their time selflessly to help us find ways to build quality schools at lower costs. It is our intent to make recommendations to the Board that will result, if adopted, in the building of quality lower cost schools. DISCIPLINE: *Expand PBS Positive Behavior Support to additional Schools *Consistent implementation of Student Code of Conduct *Improve SCALE (School Community Alternative Learning Environment) *Explore other alternative educational options for repeat disruptors CLASSIFIED: *Review and commit to raising salaries CLIMATE: *Create Teacher/Principal/Staff Advocate who reports directly to Board on issues and concerns TRANSPORTATION: *Establish Project Team to reduce costs & consider using vans and small busses when transporting fewer students, review the effects of three tier bussing on other districts, study magnet bussing costs and potential ways to reduce the expense.
