"It's a battle for (the public's) hearts
and minds," said Todd Warren '96 on
the recent changes to North Carolina's
public education policy. "We've already
won their hearts. Now, we need to
make sure that what the legislature and
General Assembly have already done
remains exposed so that we can address
those issues."
Thankfully, Warren has experience
when it comes to defending public
education in North Carolina.
'We're building a
campaign to defend
and transform public
education ... we don't
think (it's) the best that
if could be."
Todd Warren '96
After graduating from Guilford
College, he began working with local
organizations to address issues such
as redistricting and the growing
achievement gap- Through these
organizations, Warren quickly found
himself drawn into the world of
education.
"There was a big redistricting fight
in North Carolina around 1998," said
.Warren. "That's where 1 got involved

Winston in 1999."
Even when faced with the recent
flood of changes regarding teacher
pay, per-pupil funding and private
education, Warren's commitment to
protectihg North Carolina, public
educatidh has not wavered.
He's now a important member of
a social justice caucus of the North
Carolina Association of Educators,

looking for," said Associate Professor
of Music Kami Rowan, member of the

problems," said junior Ben Strozier.
