Several JCPS leaders recently seized the opportunity to present at the 2024 North Carolina School Boards Association Annual Conference on Tuesday, in Greensboro, NC.
The session was titled, “Board Governance + Instructional Leadership = High Performing School District” and the team shared strategies and procedures that have contributed to JCPS’ recent academic success and consistent improvement over the past 5 years. The team discussed everything from student engagement, curriculum, the importance of synergetic relationships between the Board and leadership, accountability at all levels, goal setting and follow through, effective organizational structure, benchmarking, and more.
Presenters were JCPS Superintendent Dr. Eric C. Bracy, Area Superintendents Patty Whittington, Ken Byrd, and Roderic Brewington, Chief Academic Officer Anna Kuykendal, Asst. Superintendent of Accountability and School Performance Kristy Stephenson, and Benson Elementary Principal Dr. Takicey Dunston.
