School Board President Kathleen Moore Talks about Challenges
Lakeview Board President Kathleen Moore knows a little bit about public education. You’d have to when your dad’s the principal of the school.
Kathleen tells Tim Collins on WBCK’s “Richard Piet Show” that she was in 8th grade when Bob Ward took the job as the Lakeview High School Principal. Now, more than 40 years later, she’s been on the Lakeview school board for about 14 years. It took her about a year as a board member to figure out how the funding worked and how schools are supported, and credits the Michigan Association of School Boards for helping to get her up to speed, along with some longtime school board members who helped her along the way.
Check out the video of the conversation, as Kathleen talks about problems and solutions facing local school districts.
