Superintendent Padilla Selected as a 2019 Leader to Learn From
Congratulations Dr. Padilla! We are proud to announce that Dr. Roberto Padilla, our proud Superintendent, has been selected for 's National 2019 Leaders to Learn From! Dr. Padilla was chosen out of hundreds of applications from across the country.
Check out a sneak peek by following the link below. We can't wait to share the full story when Education Week announces the full class in February. Below is the beginning of the edweek.org article:
Plastered across classroom walls and throughout the hallways of the administration building in the Newburgh, N.Y., school district are two words: “inclusive excellence.”
It’s a vision statement and call to action for a school district that for too long left behind the students most in need.
The phrase was developed shortly after Superintendent Roberto Padilla’s arrival in 2014, during a series of frank and difficult community meetings about why the district has struggled so much academically. Those meetings, which included hundreds of parents, teachers, staff and administrators, touched on issues of race, class, and who over the years had benefitted most from the district’s resources.
ATTENTION: Are your scholars or colleagues doing something great? Please contact the district Communications Team at communications@necsd.net. We’d love to visit your class or event and/or post your pictures and recap to highlight the amazing accomplishments throughout our district!
