My name is Antonio Blow. I’m director of Student Services fir Greene County Schools in Snow Hill North Carolina. I had the privilege this year of attending the Collaborative Conference 2013 and attended the session around the “Town Hall Meeting” which gave focused attention on strategies for working with students that are dropping out of school. It was a refreshing moment seeing educators and folks across our state working together to help kids to stay in school==that they would drop in and not drop out. I hope next year that we can continue to have another Town hall meeting and that together we can continue to make a difference in keeping kids in school in out great state. I look forward to seeing you at the 2014 Collaborative.
