NEW HAVEN - Reginald Mayo was superintendent of schools when the late Jeffie Frazier was principal of Helene W. Grant School, yet he always wore his best shirt and tie when he visited the school he didn’t want to catch any flack for not looking good enough.
“She was a no-nonsense type of person,” Mayo, now retired, said of the late Frazier. “Jeffie didn’t work for me - I worked for her. … Working for Jeffie, I became a better person, superintendent.”
