Clayton County Public Schools System is in a historic crisis.  I feel blessed to have the knowledge, skills and motivation to help restore the schools' accreditation, improve the reputation of our county and help keep the dream alive for our children's future education goals.

The Vision:

RESTORE

• Accreditation to our school system

IMPROVE

• Communications between the Board and the Stakeholders (ALL county citizens)
• Confidence in efficient operations of our school system.

CREATE

• A systematic process of quality assurance in leadership and management of the Board of Education
• A formal training system with emphasis on maintaining congenial working relationships with colleagues and good standards toward maintaining accreditation.
