Here is Ms Korn’s statement regarding her appointment to the School Board of Broward County:

“I am pleased to accept the Governor of Florida, Mr. Rick Scott’s, appointment to the School Board of Broward County, District 4. Along with so many other dedicated residents in our community, I hold a passion for providing every child with the highest level of education that can be made available to them. As a graduate, prior teacher and now parent of children in Broward County Public Schools, I recognize that I have been blessed to live in a good School District while acknowledging that there is room for improvement.

As a former teacher, I understand the challenges our educators often face and look forward to working with the entire School Board and Superintendent to ensure their highest level of success. My professional experience, as a commercial real estate agent, has afforded me an opportunity to work and negotiate with Presidents and CEO’s of large corporations in the private sector. My community involvement, in organizations such as the Children’s Services Board of Broward County (Chair), Early Learning Coalition of Broward County (Executive Committee Member), and Country Isles Elementary PTA (Co-President), allows me the opportunity to bring a wealth of knowledge about children’s issues to the School Board. I approach my role as a community activist, and now a School Board member, with a philosophy that effective leadership and true representation is attained through listening.

What I look to bring, as the District 4 School Board Member is reinvigorated passion by the public for our public schools. With student achievement as the over-arching goal, I look to promote businesses to forge true partnerships with our schools in order to bring their expertise and financial support to the District. My goal is to encourage a greater level of family engagement in their children’s education. By promoting educational choices we can successfully tailor students’ educational experiences and opportunities to meet the needs of each child.

I look forward to working closely with residents in District 4 as their voice on the School Board. As each District faces its own unique challenges, I will bring my experience and passion to the Board to achieve the priorities and goals District 4.”
