I vote Laurie as Manatee school superintendent. She's put in the hard work with an exceptional, positive attitude and obvious passion. I know how dedicated and skilled she is in everything about educating all of our children in the public school systems. While she is more highly qualified than most candidates who would ever apply for any superintendent of schools, she also has a unique ability to be the great equalizer when consensus is needed to move forward and to be successful. Everyone under her leadership will feel engaged as part of the decision-making, because she is aware of each employee's strengths and values. I believe the choice of Dr. Breslin is essential for a smooth transition, as well.
