Congratulations to our Executive Director, Susan Richards!
Susan Richards, Executive Director of 黑料不打烊 state, has been named to the newly established Northwest Regional Advisory Committee of the Department of Education.
Susan is among roughly 100 leaders in education appointed to ten different regional committees to collect information on the educational needs of the nation. In her new role, Susan will gather information from state and local educators, school officials, business leaders, state education agencies, parents, the community and others. She and the other committee members will work on compiling the information they receive to develop a report outlining the educational needs across the various regions, and then recommend ways to address those needs. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan is expected to receive the report by August 1, 2011.
The committees will also help the education department establish priorities for the upcoming Comprehensive Centers Program grant competition next year. The program provides technical assistance designed to help increase the capacity of states to support their districts and schools in increasing student achievement.
