I have been working in education in many different roles, the local paint crew my junior summer, volunteering in classrooms, working and teaching at my college's developmental research school, being a substitute teacher, a clerk in an ESE office, an assistant PE coach, the sole science coordinator for 5th grade, or assisting in art and music in my current role. Throughout my educational career I have thought the focus should be on the individual student. Every child should be given the opportunity and assistance they need to succeed in their educational journey.
Personnel Recruitment and Retainment is an ongoing issue within our district and the state. In Sumter we would like to "Grow Our Own" to continue to provide programs and structures to allow our students and community to contribute to the ongoing education and betterment of our school system. I hopefully will be able to support and further policies and procedures to continually improve the quality and quantity of educational professionals supporting our students.
The public forum at board meetings, emails, or phone calls are always open to input from community members. I will attend as many community and school events as I am able. Contacting experts in any field where I have questions, or reaching out to individuals that have contacted me with information or questions.
As a permanent Sumter County native since 1997; I have attended local public schools my whole life. From Bushnell Elementary "A Great Place to Grow" and the old PA building starting my educational journey, I then discovered my love of band and choir at South Sumter Middle School with our performances all over the county. My Alma Mater South Sumter High School where I was involved with our Naval JROTC unit, student council, and honors and AP classes. I saw much more of our county with NJROTC as I was involved in our color guard presenting our flag at ceremonies and events from the National Cemetery honoring our veterans, to local football games, and parades honoring our country. Please join me, Troye Joiner, in supporting Sumter students!
