Under the leadership of Carroll, the Great Schools of New Jersey representatives meet monthly to increase their professional knowledge; speak on behalf of their students; learn from their colleagues; and develop and advocate positions to enhance quality education for all students in high needs school districts.
Carroll, a prolific writer and noted author of curriculum-related materials, was selected the 2012 NJASA Southern Regional Superintendent of the Year. She also presents innovative curriculum-related initiatives at state and county professional development opportunities for NJASA.
NJASA Executive Director Richard G. Bozza said, “Gerri’s can-do attitude and her strategic leadership continue to move education forward in the Lindenwold District and in our Garden State.
