ABOUT JEFF SULLIVAN

I retired in 2022 after a 32-year career at JCPS. During this time, it was my privilege to serve as an assistant principal, teacher, coach, and Exceptional Children program specialist. I currently work part-time as a Drivers Education Instructor. I have had the unique experience of working at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, and it has been my pleasure to serve students, families, and communities in Smithfield, Selma, Benson, Cleveland, and Clayton. Given that I have workd in various school settings, in different communities, and at the school and central office, I have a true systems perspective on the challenges and opportunities that we face in our school system. My leadership experience, commitment to serve, and knowledge of school processes and policies will guide me to make decisions in students’ best interests. As someone who has worked in schools before, during, and after the pandemic, I have a real understanding of security protocols, and I feel it is important we provide the resources to support students and school staff to provide a safe and positive learning environment. Finally, I believe the infighting and chaotic nature that has plagued this board has been a detriment to the students and employees who are working so hard to improve our district collectively. We need people on the Board of Education who support public education and keep their focus on what is best for students, schools, and employees.
