“I believe every student deserves access to rigorous and engaging instruction in every classroom. When schools set high expectations, support one another, and recognize the important role every staff member plays, from transportation and child nutrition to instructional and support staff, we create learning environments where students feel valued, challenged, and inspired to succeed.”
