The Dr. Will See You Now

This past Monday the PEP Board met with the New Superintendent of Plainfield - Dr. Steve Gallon III. At a very high-level we were able to identify some areas for further development and potential partnerships. As these initiatives become more defined I will certainly share with the community over time.

Our team (The PEP Board) found the new SI to be very upfront, directed in his approach and expectations and extremely committed to moving Plainfield schools forward and more to the point providing our children with educational opportunities through aggressive didactic development that will ultimately lead to scholastic successes for our children. This is truly a great takeaway from our meeting.

Additionally, PEP will have a single-source contact at the PPS; Dr. Garnell Bailey. The advantages of having a direct root to the table of negotiations will help effectuate PEP’s success and overall operating efficiencies. PEP has had the pleasure of working with Dr. Bailey in her capacity as the Interim SI and certainly looks forward to further solidification of this partnership, and successfully supporting parental involvement activities. This is just one more example of the win-win opportunities this new administration has mapped out to the benefit of Plainfield Public Schools and the community at large.

I look forward to reporting more positive outcomes over the coming school year as PEP partners with Dr. Bailey and her team to ensure we position parents to better support their children, the teachers, administrators and Plainfield Public Schools.

Be well!
