As the CCSD BOE president, what has working with Dr. Scott been like so far?
She's so open. (She and I) meet every other week, and we have really candid conversations about what's happening in our community, not only (at) the school-district level, but just with our kids in Athens-Clarke County. She has a pulse, just like (former CCSD Superintendent) Dr. (Robbie) Hooker did, on what's happening with our (students) in both of those communities, and we have conversations about how we can potentially bridge some gaps, but make improvements at the community level. I appreciate the fact that she does her homework and she never approaches a meeting or a conversation without knowing all the details of what we're going to talk about. That's a trait that you don't see in a lot of people, and (that’s) some- thing that lends to her being so trustworthy and ready to tackle whatever issue’s in front of us.

What do you want the community to know about Dr. Scott and her approach to her work?
It takes a lot for someone to be an educator in Clarke County, not having been from here. As a Black woman, it takes a lot. It's hard to have people come from the outside and judge what's happening in the county for our children, our school district (and) our teachers, but she doesn't do that, and she never did that. She came in, and she was boots on the ground, and she was willing to do the work to turn this district around from day one, and she's always been that way. For (CCSD), we need to have a reckoning in this community that people coming from the outside don't always have bad intentions, and we can all work together towards this greater good if we're just willing to be open and communicative, and appreciate everybody's talents and values.
