Lauren Sartain for Durham County Board of Education
The right leader for Durham Public Schools.
Operational excellence leads to student success.
In Durham, we collectively believe that high-quality public education:
-
Will lift people up,
-
Requires equitable distribution of resources, and
-
Is every student’s right.
Operational excellence is the key to accomplishing those goals, and operational excellence starts with the school board. Lauren has the experience, skills, and passion to re-focus our district’s efforts on delivering the education Durham’s students deserve.
What is operational excellence?
Operational excellence means a budget that gets dollars back into the classroom, prioritizes our schools' needs, and is one we can afford.
Operational excellence means no more empty promises to staff because we didn’t think through the budget implications of our policy choices.
Operational excellence means reliable transportation that gets students to and from school so that they can learn.
Operational excellence means affordable, available after-school programs that keep students safe and parents at work.
Operational excellence means that DPS will be the best choice for Durham's children.
