What have been the most significant changes to education in your tenure?
"The growth in technology has been amazing. It has changed how students learn and teachers teach. The resources that students have at their access is truly amazing. Thus, it is crucial that as a district we continue to stay on the cutting edge of technology."
What significant changes do you foresee in the future of education?
"Education is heading in a direction where the emphasis may not be on what information the students know, but how they can access it. Once again, this is due to the vast amount of technological resources that is at the student's fingertips."
