SBE MEMBERS REFLECT ON PUBLIC EDUCATION IN NORTH CAROLINA

"For me, my work on the State Board of Education is all about the children across North Carolina. Each of them deserves an opportunity to build the knowledge and skills necessary for citizenship and for success in this century. I believe that if we put the best interests of the children at the top of our agenda, our state is better off and we are all better off."
- Tricia Willoughby

I'm not an educator, but I care deeply about our public schools. Our kids' future and that of our nation rests on how well we as a community prepare the next generation for what will be a very competitive global landscape. The skillset required of today's graduate should push us all to ask more of our students, parents, teachers, school board members and leaders in our communities. We need to get serious about deciding who we want to be as a nation, and determine a path that is right by our children. It's time to think strategically, invest accordingly and demand solid results. We owe nothing less to our kids.
- John A. Tate
