"Love per Square Foot" with NCSSA & Moseley Architects
Through the North Carolina Academy to Envision Tomorrow's Schools, many of the state's best teachers teamed up with architects and designers to imagine how K-12 facilities might deliver more student-centered and community engaged learning. Click here to read more.
"Dr. Tony Jackson has developed a culture of innovation and excellence at Vance County Schools," said Jack Hoke, Executive Director of the North Carolina School Superintendents' Association. "He has created countless leadership opportunities for administrators, teachers and support staff, and has encouraged risk-taking by all employees to improve student outcomes. The district has shown tremendous gains academically, while athletics and the arts have thrived as a source of pride for the district. Dr. Jackson is a champion of community engagement and always closes every presentation with #VanceCountyProud. He is very deserving of this honor."

Camden Dillard was a husband, father and a man of great ambition. He was an administrator in the child nutrition department in the Rockingham County school system and a senior at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro where he was enrolled in his last class to earn his Bachelor of Science degree, but then tragedy struck.
In July, he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of pancreatic cancer. Because of his illness, he was unable to complete his last class. His supervisor Erselle Young got an idea after visiting Camden in his hospital room at Wake Forest Baptist. She asked the superintendent of Rockingham County Schools, Dr. Rodney Shotwell, to intervene and ask UNCG to waive Camden’s last class and award him his diploma.
"I wanted Cam to know that he graduated before he passed, but the big piece is I wanted his kids to be able to see what their dad was able to do ... when you see somebody that things are going well for, be the person to make the difference because you never know the impact that it's going to have."
Members of the Professional Educator Preparation and Standards Commission (PEPSC) met on Thursday morning with specific instructions from the State Board of Education to reconsider changes to the proposed Educator Preparation Program (EPP) Accountability model.
Members of the North Carolina General Assembly voted on Tuesday to adjourn until April 28, after Republicans were unable to secure enough support from Democrats to successfully override the Governor’s veto of the state budget.
Staff from the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) presented an update on proposed changes to educator preparation program (EPP) performance standards and accountability measures during the monthly State Board of Education meeting on Wednesday.
