Empowering Our Educators As a school system, we understand that a high quality teacher is a true asset to their classroom and school. We offer several educator benefits that aim to enhance and retain our educators, such as advanced degree tuition subsidies and new teacher mentoring programs. However, our level of monetary investment does not match our understanding of their worth. Despite this investment of tax payer funds into our educators, they are still paid less in Prince George's County than in neighboring jurisdictions. It is time for our county to walk the walk and talk the talk. If we are paying for a teacher's Masters degree or Ph.D., then let's make sure those investments stay here in our school system. Empowering our educators with an equitable salary that is comparable to their peers in other jurisdictions will reinforce their importance and will show Prince Georgians that their investments are staying in their county's school system for the long term. Fighting for School Construction There is no other way to put this: Suitland High School needs to be rebuilt. With the redevelopment of the Suitland area through County Executive Rushern Baker's transforming Neighborhoods Initiative (TNI), plans to rennovate and redevelop Suitland High School must be advocacted for. Despite what many think, a large percentage of school construction funds comes from the State of Maryland through the Governor's budget. With years of experience working for the Maryland General Assembly and analzying multiple budgets, I have the experience and the determination to go to Annapolis and fight for construction funds. District 7 cannot sit idle any longer - we need experienced leadership! Engaging Our Alumni That is why I am proposing the establishment of a PGCPS Alumni Engagement team that will be tasked with working with all of our high schools to assist in engaging with their alumni who are willing to give their time to bring mentorship, guidance, and extracurricular opportunities for our future alumni. No matter if you are a famous athlete or politician or if you are a just a fellow Prince Georgian, like myself, your connectedness to the high school you graduated from is an asset that I believe can be benficial.[8] |
