 Reflections from Mr. Alex Quigley, Chair, Charter School Advisory Board (CSAB)
Dear
Charter Leaders-
As
we close out our May meeting, I'd like to send out my gratitude, on behalf of
the entire CSAB and charter communities, for the tireless dedication of Dr.
Deanna Townsend-Smith, who we officially said goodbye to at this meeting.
Thankfully, Dr. Townsend-Smith is not going far, as she joins the team serving
the State Board of Education, as the Director of Operations and Policy.
Deanna
has served our board and the charter community for the last five years as a
consultant and Assistant Director of the Office of Charter Schools. She's
provided steady leadership during a period of aggressive growth in the charter
sector.
We thank her for her service and look forward to working with her in
her new role with the SBE.
