Trish Pulos- Board Member
I strongly hold onto the ideal of being a learner in perpetuity. I have been an educator for 20 years and a student for twice as long. While upholding the expectations of rigor, standards, and fiscal responsibility, I expect myself to always be ready to learn something new and for those I lead to also be willing to learn. By maintaining a philosophy of servant leadership, one in which I agree to never ask something of someone that I am not willing to do myself, I define boundaries and expectations for those on my team. I expect for them to lead by example, uphold integrity, treat others respectfully, deliver accurate, timely and relevant information, and be available to serve those who we teach and work with, the stakeholders in our organization. Educating others is my passion and leading them is my calling. I have the drive to lead, the tenacity to stand up for my students and my staff, and the dedication to work for them and with them. I lead by example, I learn by example, and I support by example. My staff trusts I will help them, my students know that I give them my attention and fulfill their requests for help and guidance as I am able, and my supervisor knows that I can be trusted to complete projects on time and within the restrictions required. I place a great deal of pride in staying positive and realistic and remember that those I lead come before me. I lead with a positive attitude, a firm belief that challenges truly are opportunities, a thorough understanding that those I serve are those that deserve my best and an expectation for fairness and effective rigor.
David Calvo- Board Member
Committed to the ideals of equitable public education, I am a student-centered educator with 25 years of predominantly serving minority student populations. Like most of my students, I am a first-generation college student. Entering public education as a teacher’s assistant, I have since led and worked with multiple schools across the PK-12 continuum in five of the top ten largest districts in the nation. I have been with the Academica network or schools they service since 2005; my previous ten years were with Miami-Dade County Public Schools. I have designed and supported existing schools in California, Nevada, and Florida. I have also participated in varying capacities with local, state, and national education agencies.
