In her first month in office, Shirley Carraway filled a $1.2 million budget gap. Carraway said she now will tack
le the minority achievement gap and raise schools' performance as measured by the No Child Left Behind Act.
Schools’ leader sees success
BY ELIZABETH SHERMAN
STAFF WRITER
It's been a hectic but productive
first month for the Orange County
Schools' new superintendent.
In Shirley Carraway’s first
month in office, she and Orange
County Schools Finance Director
Sandra Tinsley managed to fill a
$1.2 million gap in the school sys
tem's budget by transferring funds
from last year’s budget and from
current state and federal programs
into the local budget.
Carraway, who has a doctorate
in educational leadership, said she
became accustomed to facing chal
lenges about 25 years ago as the
first principal in Pitt County who
was a woman or a minority.
“I have always been prepared for
whatever was going to come next.”
Carraway said her biggest
advantage is that she was able to
experience a variety of roles before
becoming superintendent.
“I feel very fortunate that I had
some of the experiences that I had,”
she said. “The more roles you’ve
had in a school district the better
prepared you are.”
Carraway’s selection in June as
superintendent brought to a close
four months of controversy sur
rounding the process of filling the
position.
One of the candidates dropped
out of the running in April after he
was contacted about contentious
ness in the board’s discussions. But
Carraway said working with the
school board has gone well so far.
Since taking office Carraway has
spent most of her time meeting
with students, principals and par
ents to familiarize herself with the
school district and its specific
needs.
“It’s so easy to come in and say
‘l’m gonna do this, I’m gonna do
that’, but I want to make sure that
I’m providing the type of leader
ship that needs to be achieved”
Carraway said.
Carraway’s biggest goals for the
2003-04 school year are to
increase student achievement and
parent involvement; close the
achievement gap between minori
ty students and majority students;
and better meet the requirements
of special needs students.
One of Carraway’s next chal
lenges will be to help Orange
(Ihp Oatfy QJar Hrrt
County schools meet the new fed
eral regulations of President Bush’s
No Child Left Behind Act.
Last year only two out of 11
Orange County schools achieved
the Adequate Yearly Progress goal
set by federal guidelines.
Carraway said that such statis
tics can be misleading. "One of our
schools didn't meet AYP because
they had less than 95 percent of the
students take the test. The scores
of the students who did take the
test were more than high enough
to meet the AYP.”
Carraway said a lack of informa
tion may have contributed to low
scores as well, and that officials at
many Orange County schools were
not aw'are of how No Child Left
Behind scores would be deter
mined.
“A number of schools didn't
know about the ramifications and
nuances of the program," she said.
’’There is a possibility that if some
of the information had been pro
vided they would have been able to
influence a more positive outcome.”
