February 27, 7:00 p.m. A Conversation with Mo Green, NC Superintendent of Public Instruction

Join NCPTA and Public Schools First NC for the first in our series of interviews with new public education leaders. Green was elected in November, 2024 to serve as NC Superintendent of Public Instruction.

We will talk to Superintendent Green about his vision for the Department of Public Instruction and public schooling in North Carolina. He and the State Board of Education recently released their joint legislative priorities where they outline funding goals for the next budget. You can review their priorities here.

There will be a question/answer session with participants.

Green has been a champion for public education in North Carolina throughout his professional career.

He served more than seven years as superintendent of Guilford County Schools – the third largest district in North Carolina with more than 70,000 students. While Superintendent, Green earned many accolades for his innovative leadership and reforms. The district earned state and national recognitions for improved academic performance, increased graduation rates, and character development/service learning.

After leaving Guilford County Schools, Green served as the executive director of the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, a major North Carolina foundation that supports various causes including public education.

Before his time with Guilford County Schools, Green worked for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) as general counsel. CMS is the second-largest school district in North Carolina. In 2006, he was named chief operating officer and later moved into the role of deputy superintendent.
