What was it like working with Dr. Scott when she was the deputy superintendent of academics and student support from 2022-25?
What I loved about Dr. Scott (is that) she's not afraid to ask the tough questions. She didn't run from problems. Some people, when they're presented (with) a problem, want to push it to the side and not deal with it. She will meet it head-on, and that's (how) I see her as a leader. Here's the thing: she's not impulsive in her decision-making. She wants to make sure that she has the right information before making that tough decision.
What are some strengths you've noticed about Dr. Scott while working together?

She rose the ranks from being an Executive Director (of Leadership Development from 2019-22), to Chief (of Student and Family Support in 2022), to Deputy Superintendent (in 2023). I don't think those elevations came by happenstance. Each time she applied for those jobs, she was the right person for the job. When she's in a crowd, she's not one of the leaders who needs to stick with her group to feel comfortable. She's able to go out and speak to business people, as well as community leaders, and have that conversation about what is best for Clarke County School District, and how we (can) move forward.

What efforts did you make to help Dr. Scott transition into the role of interim superintendent?
Every table that I sat at in the community, I made sure (that) when I met with those individuals, Dr. Scott (had) been in the room with them before, was familiar with them and understood the process as to why the decision was being made. I ensured that she built (a) network of other superintendents and aspiring superintendents, (so) that she would have a network across the state. She attended the American Association of (School Administrators), so she could meet very bright and strong women leaders who are leading public schools across the United States. Once you make connections with them, it's like having a (database).

How does Dr. Scott build relationships with the people she meets or works with?
One of the key things is she wants to (know) what's going on with the students, and the best way to do that is (by) having relationships with students that are in (CCSD) schools. Even when I had my Student Advisory (Council), she was always there to give input or just listen and learn. She's a person to be reckoned with, (and) a (greater) leader than you will find even among the state for curriculum directors and other academic leaders. She has a name across the state (for) being a champion for students, (and someone) who cares about resources being provided for teachers so that they can carry out the act of teaching the standards in CCSD.
