Trisha Porter Hutchison Introduction

[trish hutchison]

Hello,

I would like to introduce myself. I'm Trish Hutchison, and I'm running for Superintendent of Schools.

Being a resident of Walton County for most of my life, I live in Mossy Head near my parents, Gordon and Corinne Porter. I am a graduate of Walton High School, OWC, and UWF.

Currently, I teach in a 4th grade inclusion class at Maude Saunders Elementary in DeFuniak. In addition to teaching at MSE, I have served and continue to serve as the Professional Development Chair and School Improvement Co-Chair. Also, I have been the lead teacher for the University of West Florida's SES tutoring program at Maude Saunders for the past two years.

In the past, I have been a part of the District Advisory Committee as a parent representative for West DeFuniak Elementary.

I am very open to everyone's concerns. If anyone would like to speak to me personally, my home number is 951-2030. I appreciate you taking the time to read this introduction.

Trish

Thanks for the welcome!

We need changes right away to save the rights of our children and school system employees. Teachers must have freedom to teach without fear.

You are very brave and I admire that tremendously.

Thank you! I agree that we need changes for the sake of our children. Fortunately, we have an election process that enables us to make changes when we are not listened to otherwise.

Welcome Trisha and thanks for listing your qualifications in the first post.

It would be helpful if we could have a little more substance than the dialog between you and ElitoDJ, which makes it look like 2 people having a conversation about gripes and the rest of us have no idea what you are talking about.

For example, why are teachers teaching in fear? Where is this happening? ElitoDJ's comment is a little vague and is inflammatory only.

I do have a few questions- Do you have any head of school experience, or a supervisory staff position? How do your qualifications qualify you for the Superintendent position? What changes would you make in the WCSD?

Thanks.

We appreciate posts by candidates.

That is why I love America.

These are not gripes. I am only expressing how I feel.
