Wait, I found her webpage: As Superintendent of Schools, I will work with the Department of Education, the Board of Education, the Governor, the Legislature, and Georgia's teachers, administrators, parents, and students to significantly improve our state's educational system. She might have to expound on the "improve" part. |
