Alabama’s state superintendent Michael Sentance very much wants to keep his job so he can see the results of months of planning a new course for Alabama’s public education system.
Sentance, whose lack of experience in the classroom made him an unlikely choice for state superintendent last year, recently received low marks on evaluations from members of the state board of education.
He will present his plan to address board members’ concerns at the Aug. 10 board meeting.
Admitting he is not a good communicator in large groups, Sentance sat down with AL.com on Thursday afternoon to talk about the challenges he’s faced in Alabama and, though he lacks confidence he will be able to get his message across, he hopes to stick around and see plans made during the past 11 months come to fruition.
