It took me seven and a half
years to successfully complete
the requirements of dual
Masters Degrees in Social
Work and Public
Administration. During those
long 7 and ½ years, the most
important skill I learned was
how to delay self-gratification.
I learned that “slow and
steady” wins the race. As
School Board Director, I would
have the determination needed
to stay the course and keep
my eye on long-term goals.
Role clarity – As President of
Manchester Elementary School PTA
([PTA]- a nationally affiliated group) I
pledged to advocate for ALL
children, not the interest of one
school. This position has given me
several opportunities this past year
to speak for ALL of our children of
the greater North Side area. As
board director I would transfer the
experience I have of assessing,
monitoring, evaluating and would be
accountable to the communities the
results gained.
I agree with the School District’s
principle of “Shared
Responsibilities”. “We know that
education is the key to our future.
All of us -- students, teachers,
administrators, families,
community, board members and
other civic leaders – will take an
active role in helping our students
succeed”. I’m concerned with the
number of discouraged and/or
uninvolved parents. Parents; our
children’s “first teacher” will be
encouraged and empowered to
take an active role in our “shared
responsibilities”.
