On June 25 and 26, the Leon County School Board will convene a Strategic Planning Retreat. It is my focus to include discussions about the “re-imaging” of our school district to respond to critical issues of concern and challenges in our community.
At the crux of these discussions will be a conversation on remedying poverty and teenage gun violence, and identifying ways to end the workforce crisis in health care and construction trades through the educational offerings of the Leon County School District.
In September 2019, I joined the Big Bend Minority Chamber of Commerce’s founder, attorney Sean Pittman, and president, Antonio Jefferson, on a fact-finding visit to Nashville, Tennessee, to see how that school district had responded to the workforce crisis in its community.
