Nancy Proto: Candidate for Northampton County School Board At-Large Position
On November 3rd Northampton County residents will elect a new At-Large School Board member. I am seeking election because of my strong conviction that every child deserves the opportunity to reach his or her potential in order to become a happy, productive member of society. To achieve this, they need a quality education.
I have a Masters Degree in School Psychology, New York State and National Certification as a school psychologist and Certification in School District Administration. I have twenty-five (25) years experience as a school psychologist in a public school in upstate NY with a proven track record for leadership, problem solving and child advocacy. I effectively provided training and took the lead role in implementing major changes in my district as a result of the revision of IDEA – Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. I also provided training in the administration and data management of new assessments and helped facilitate appropriate interventions and programs for at-risk students.
