Carter, a twenty year veteran of education, fourteen of which have been spent as the Union County Deputy Superintendent, explained that his goal for McCracken County Schools is not just to be good, but great. He feels that the District has noteworthy achievements and that these should be celebrated.
He said, "the students are what it's all about." He went on to say, "we are going to focus on what we need to do for our kids and the future of McCracken County."
Carter said he believes in doing things right, but as Superintendent, is charged with doing things legally correct, and will do so. He mentioned that when adults need to be held accountable, honest conversation will take place. He also believes in being "brutally honest" and will deal with issues immediately.
His start date will be July 1st, and he said his most important first step will be to get everyone to focus on student achievement.
