Strategic scheduling software company, Abl,
announces the appointment of former Washoe County Schools
Superintendent Dr. Susan Enfield to
its Advisory Board.
SAN
FRANCISCO, May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Abl, a
software company which empowers educators and students to tackle
inefficient and inequitable academic pathways through strategic
scheduling, is delighted to welcome Dr. Susan Enfield, the former Superintendent of
Washoe County Schools, as the newest member of its esteemed
Advisory Board.
Joining former award-winning superintendents, Dr. Enfield brings
over two decades of district leadership experience, including
serving as Chief Academic Officer and Interim Superintendent for
Seattle Public Schools. Her
experience also includes leadership roles in Evergreen Public
Schools in Vancouver, Washington,
Portland Public Schools in
Oregon, and the Pennsylvania
Department of Education. She was named the 2022 Washington State
Superintendent of the Year by the Washington Association of School
Administrators, and the 2018 Superintendent of the Year by the
National School Foundation Association.
"I am honored to join this esteemed advisory board and
contribute to the crucial mission of expanding student access to
advanced courses and postsecondary opportunities by joining Abl's
board," said Dr. Susan Enfield.
"Every student deserves the chance to challenge themselves
academically and explore their full potential. By working together
to identify and dismantle barriers, we can create more equitable
pathways that empower all students to succeed in high school,
college, and beyond."
During her tenure at Washoe County Schools, Dr. Enfield led the
adoption of a bold, three-year strategic plan which aimed to place
at least 19 out of every 20 students in dual credit programs,
Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) or career
and technical education (CTE) pathways; and for every graduate to
complete a post-graduation plan. While leading Highland Public
Schools, she increased the percentage of students graduating in
four years from 62 percent in 2013 to 83 percent in 2020.
"We are thrilled to have Dr. Enfield join as the newest member
of our board as we continue to expand access to higher education
and pave the way for fair and inclusive academic trajectories for
every student," said Howard Bell,
CEO of Abl noted. "Dr. Enfield has a proven track record of
increasing student access to advanced rigorous courses and her
expertise, guidance, and wisdom will be instrumental in furthering
Abl's impact in both modernizing school operations and removing
barriers to postsecondary success."
Dr. Enfield's appointment further strengthens the board's
ability to support Abl's growth objectives and market expansion
efforts. With the addition of Dr. Enfield, Abl looks forward to
continuing its work to support district teams to identify root
causes prohibiting postsecondary success and highlighting areas of
opportunity to improve outcomes for all students.
