"Her leadership, her willingness to take risks and make difficult decisions demonstrated her unique and remarkable leadership skills."

"We have faced many challenges, and I am proud to have been a part of a new beginning for the public schools in New Orleans. As the end of our first full school year approaches, it's time for me to move on, to spend more time with my family and begin a new chapter in my life. I want to commend the teachers, principals and support staff that work tirelessly day in and day out to build a better school system."
