Dear District 75 families, my
name is Doctor Keisha McCoy,

00:00:13.060 --> 00:00:17.829
and it is an honor and a
privilege to serve as the new interim

00:00:17.829 --> 00:00:21.829
acting superintendent of
District 75.

00:00:22.350 --> 00:00:27.450
I began serving in this role a
little over a month ago,

00:00:27.909 --> 00:00:32.909
and I am genuinely excited to
join our wonderful community and

00:00:32.909 --> 00:00:38.909
to partner with our dedicated
school leaders, staff, students,

00:00:39.229 --> 00:00:40.380
community partners,

00:00:40.619 --> 00:00:45.830
and local officials to continue
to develop and improve our

00:00:45.830 --> 00:00:46.940
schools.

00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:52.479
I have been a District 75
educator supporting students who

00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:58.060
require special education
services for over 16 years.

00:00:58.599 --> 00:01:04.120
I believe that our students can
evolve with unlimited

00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:05.740
possibilities.

00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:10.699
I am committed to ensuring that
every student feels seen,

00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:13.139
supported, empowered,

00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:18.720
and provided with the tools and
knowledge to reach their fullest

00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:20.259
potential.

00:01:20.559 --> 00:01:26.419
Together. We will ensure safety,
inclusiveness,

00:01:26.720 --> 00:01:31.959
and engaging learning
environments where curiosity and

00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:34.080
creativity thrive.

00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:39.940
My goal these first few weeks is
to listen, learn,

00:01:40.080 --> 00:01:45.400
and lead in partnership with
you. In the months ahead,

00:01:45.610 --> 00:01:49.319
I look forward to meeting you at
school events,

00:01:49.610 --> 00:01:52.710
community gatherings, and
listening tours.

00:01:53.010 --> 00:01:57.790
Your voices are essential as we
work to provide our students

00:01:58.050 --> 00:02:00.569
with unlimited possibilities.

00:02:00.970 --> 00:02:05.930
Thank you for welcoming me so
warmly to lead our District 75

00:02:05.930 --> 00:02:11.220
family. I am eager to
collaborate with you to ensure every child

00:02:11.220 --> 00:02:15.779
receives the world-class
education they deserve with gratitude

00:02:15.779 --> 00:02:19.779
and excitement for the world
ahead.
