My Dear Plainfield Community:
It is an honor and a joy to have been asked by the Board of Education to serve as the school district’s Interim Superintendent of Schools. Let me at the outset thank all of the residents who attended the June 19th Board of Education meeting and expressed their support and appreciation to the Board President, the Board, and to me. I have come to Plainfield for one purpose of working with all of you for the sake of THE CHILDREN. In other words, I am a “kid’s superintendent,” not a political one, although I do understand the workings of politics in any public operation.

About 150 teachers stood and cheered after board President Patricia Barksdale read a statement detailing Paula Howard's resignation as Plainfield school superintendent and introduced her replacement, Peter Carter. The ovation came at Tuesday night's board of education meeting in the high school library, which was attended mostly by teachers. Click here to read more.
