About me

I am a retired K-12 educator from Gulfport. I have 18 years of classroom experience, and 10 years of Educational Leadership experience. I was a building principal for 7 years and had the opportunity to serve as Federal Programs Director/Community Relations Director before retiring in 2011. I have enjoyed being Home for the 3 years, but I got anxious and decided I wanted to continue to work in a field that I can give back, but on a different platform.

So, I am excited to have the opportunity to join the Miller-Motte family.

Compensation

An institution must be very careful when compensating employees. This can get very sticky when trying to reward employees. You must have a clear, concise format that is transparent to everyone.

Advertising

When advertising for the institution, we must make sure that we use every aspect of the new aged methods. Although the internet is popular, one cannot assume that every home has access to a computer or even a smart phone. Old and new must come together to achieve one common goal.

Federal Guidelines

The Federal Guidelines change from year to year because of the inconsistences of various institutions, schools and colleges. Because funds are misappropriated and misused, the guidelines change to make sure everyone has the same opportunity as others to receive a appropriate education. We must band together to make sure we stay in compliance, follow all the rules and regulations to continue to raise the bar.
