Kareem Moncree-Moffett, PhD, says she is excited to start her term as President of the Cincinnati Public Schools Board of Education. Moncree-Moffett has been working with the board since 2022 and was elected board president earlier this month.
Moncree-Moffett has a doctorate degree in Educating Urban African American Students and has worked with multiple educational programs and non-profits in the past. She said she plans to promote understanding between members of the school board.
“My main goal this particular year is to reconnect the board members to each other,” said Moncree-Moffett. “so that we can increase student outcomes and community awareness, and engage the community about what’s going on within the district.”
She said she decided to run for the board presidency because she wanted to connect the community to the school board.
“I want the community to know what’s going on,” said Moncree-Moffett. “I want them to stay aware and informed and engaged.
Moncree-Moffett said she believes the board can work together to accomplish goals despite their differences. Coming projects within the school district reflect this, she added.
“We’ve got cosmetology coming, entrepreneurship coming, some career tech options that are coming for our students that they are asking for,” said Moncree-Moffett. She also plans to increase partnerships and community engagement.
Moncree-Moffett’s message to the community is: “Stay aware, stay aware, stay curious, and stay engaged.”
