3/21/2106 Group Watch: Principal Perspective
by Allen Sanderson
Jeff Newman is running to be re-elected for the District 7 seat on the State Board of Education this fall. He was elected in 2012 and since then, has brought his significant experience and expertise to bear on behalf of Alabama’s children. I’ve known Jeff and his family for many years. My father and his dad, Max Newman, coached football together at Millport High School in Millport, and I served in the legislature with Max. Like his father, Jeff is a dedicated public servant and an educator, working as a classroom teacher and assistant principal and then serving as School Superintendent in Lamar County before running for and being elected to the SBOE. I’m proud to support Jeff in his re-election campaign and hope that those of you in his district will consider doing the same.
