“Across my roles, I’ve worked to improve access to grade level learning, to strengthen inclusive practices, and to build systems that support both students and staff,” Ms. Dodge said. “My background in special education continues to shape how I think about access, inclusion, and what it really means for students to be successful. I have focused on building strong teams, creating clarity and consistency for staff, and making schools places where students feel known, supported, and challenged. I’m excited to bring this work into a K–8 setting and to continue building systems that support students across their full educational experience.”
